Why Alfie Deyes Is So Unique?
When 8,000 people queue up for several hours to see an author sign his books, it begs the question, “What makes him special?” Alfie Deyes was obviously unique before he was an author because of his video blogging. But before that, he was just another young British boy. The issue with vlogging is that it is a video journal of one’s life that is indefinitely recorded online. It gives us a look at someone else’s life who is just as vulnerable as we are. Additionally, it establishes a direct link between the author and the audience. I’m exactly the same as the person watching the video, I’m just on the other side of the screen, says Alfie, who claims to be precisely the same. Although some of his female admirers might have a soft spot for him because he declares himself a feminist, his simplicity and down-to-earth approach is a plausible explanations for his success. Alfie always makes sure to leave extra time in his schedule when he goes out, despite the fact that he is a celebrity so that he can spend time interacting with his admirers and getting pictures with them.
