David Sutcliffe, known for his Gilmore Girls character Christopher, has created a big hubbub lately surrounding his podcasting career, particularly with the interview he did with Andrew Tate. There used to be fans who worshipped his character's dynamic with Lorelai and Rory.
However, now, fans cannot help but compare the charming on-screen persona of Christopher with the real-life ventures of Sutcliffe. His recent posts about advising on relationships and emotional mastery shocked some fans as he is thought to be most remembered for his previous role where such a character was renowned for making the most common mistakes in any relationship.
Sutcliffe's entry into podcasting, including his interview with Tate, has created a dichotomy in most fans' minds about how he dramatically changed from his character viewers loved in Gilmore Girls to discussing ideas that most abhor.
Here's what some fans had to say about his new career path on Instagram.
@chaotic_vibez asked, “Excuse me, Christopher giving relationship advice?”
This reaction captures the disbelief many fans felt, given Christopher's turbulent romantic history in Gilmore Girls.
Another user, @katiebeachcook, humorously remarked, “If Christopher had taken this advice, he might’ve had a chance of keeping Lorelai 🤣.”
Fans find it ironic that Sutcliffe is offering tips he didn't apply in his iconic role.
@Victoria.k.young also chimed in, saying, “Marriage tips from Christopher?! 🤣 love it. Good advice.”
Despite the irony, some fans still appreciate the advice he's sharing.
On Reddit, @lucky_mac reflected on Sutcliffe’s past appearance on the Gilmore Guys podcast, recalling how odd he seemed and suggesting that his recent shift in behavior could have started once his acting roles dwindled:
“I think he essentially joined some sort of cult that was all about sonic vibrations and frequencies.”
Redditor @GlitchCat69 bluntly criticized his behavior, linking his shift to controversial content, writing,
“This guy SUCKS, but I wonder if he still had it together back when shooting the series... and then he started watching Info Wars and Andrew Tate videos.”
The unexpected shift in Christopher from Gilmore Girls star to relationship advisor
Sutcliffe's transformation from Gilmore Girls star to relationship advisor and podcaster has left many fans scratching their heads. His podcast episodes, particularly his interview with Andrew Tate, have caused some to question his motives.
Once celebrated as the endearing yet flawed Christopher, Sutcliffe now promotes relationship advice and offers deep-diving courses on emotional mastery. This dramatic shift and his association with controversial figures like Tate have led to widespread confusion among his fanbase.
Sutcliffe’s advice posts, especially those on self-sabotage and emotional well-being, showcase a man seemingly seeking purpose beyond the acting world, but not all are on board with the change.
Fans question the Gilmore Girls actor's Andrew Tate connection
Many are particularly concerned about Sutcliffe's connection with Andrew Tate. Tate, a controversial figure known for his polarizing views, has been linked to troubling ideologies.
Sutcliffe’s decision to not only interview Tate, but also promote the episode on his social media has sparked a wave of criticism. Gilmore Girls fans expressed disbelief, asking how anyone could sit across from a figure accused of such serious crimes and treat him as a complex personality worth understanding.
