The authors examine how the performance of intimate male friendships functions within broadly 'Western' celebrity culture from three primary perspectives: construction of persona; interactions with audiences and fans; and commodification. Case studies from film and television are used to illustrate the argument that, regardless of their authenticity (real or staged), bromances are useful for engaging audiences and creating an extension of entertainment beyond the film the actors originally sought to promote. The first truly interdisciplinary study of its kind, this book will be of great interest to scholars and students of communications, advertising, marketing, Internet studies, media, journalism, cultural studies, and film and television"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge research in cultural and media studies. 606 $aMale friendship in motion pictures 606 $aCelebrities$zUnited States 606 $aMale friendship$zUnited States 606 $aFame$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 610 $aadvertising;authenticity;branding;bromances;Celebrity;celebrities;fandom;fan studies;film;Hollywood;masculinities;masculinity;media;personas;television;X-men 615 0$aMale friendship in motion pictures. 615 0$aCelebrities 615 0$aMale friendship 615 0$aFame$xSocial aspects 676 $a791.4302/80811 700 $aLam$b Celia$01262169 702 $aRaphael$b Jackie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910597160403321 996 $aCelebrity bromances$93910037 997 $aUNINA
