Hollywood actor John Turturro is currently in the spotlight, especially because of his performance in the Apple TV+ series “Severance.” His character Irving has become so popular that some fans have even gotten tattoos of his name or character!
🔥 Tattoo Craze: Fans’ Wild Love
At the Severance For Your Consideration (FYC) event in New Jersey, John Turturro spoke to the media and said:
“Earlier, people weren’t so active on social media. Back then, they would meet on the street, quote my dialogues, or even get tattoos of me.”
He also shared that many people have tattoos of his character from “The Big Lebowski” – and some even show him those intimate tattoos!
“Some people get tattoos on body parts I don’t want to see,” John joked.
📵 John Stays Away from Social Media
When asked if he follows fan reactions online, John replied:
“I stay away from social media. I don’t need to read too much about myself. I just like to work freely.”
However, he also thanked his audience:
“You act for the audience. I do it for myself too, but you always hope people connect with it.”
🎬 What Is Severance About?
“Severance,” created by Dan Erickson and produced by Ben Stiller, is based on a very unique concept. The show explores how a company, Lumon Industries, separates the personal and professional lives of its employees through a “severance” procedure.
That means – the person outside the office is totally different from the one inside the office. 🤯

He also clarified that the story of the show does not depend on fan theories:
“We have our own vision, and we take fan theories with a grain of salt.”
