Mrs. Camui, how do you know that Gackt isnt a jerk in everyday life? I'm assuming you havent met him, right?
What if he actually is? What if it actually is a fact, just a fact you arent aware of?
Who cares?
He's been pumped into the media for his music, his looks, his voice, his attitude (even if you call it 'fake'), and because it does the industry some good. He's popular, but of course not everyone's going to like him.
You know why he appears on those talk shows? Because the produces think it'll be reason for more people to watch.
So what if he chooses to say he's over 400 years old? He obviously doesn't want to give his real age, and what does it matter? Ok, some fangirls may like to know their age gap, but the people here don't seem to be that kind of person.
So what if he's getting older? We are too.
So what if his looks aren't 100% natural? He certainly wouldn't be the only one. And there are many people out there who don't work in the entertainment industry and still choose to manipulate their appearance.
In fact, I bet many of the people you adore in entertainment have had something done too. So much as putting on make-up is 'unnatural'. You know what, he plucks his eyebrows too (or an equivilant). Come to think of it, I don't even think many of the people at my school have just their natural looks...
It's pop culture, he's part of it, if you don't like it, then don't look at it.
