02:33John Demetrius is human and he's a popular human and a lot of people set these
02:37Celebrities to a higher standing but at the end of the day, they're human and like you say someone they consider villains
02:43some are considered heroes, but
02:45At the end of the day, they're just they're just human
02:47They end up having emotions and emotions can come out at any time
