Years before she became a featured player on Saturday Night Live, comedian Ashley Padilla worked as an assistant for the late actress Diane Keaton. The job included running errands, scheduling appointments, and running the Academy Award-winning icon's Instagram account. Today, Padilla says the experience changed how she looks at social media.
According to Padilla, the secret was if you don’t look at the comments, you will have a much better experience.
“[Keaton was] amazing, and I learned that from her, because I ran her Instagram, so she didn’t see the comments. So, she was just putting out into the world whatever she liked,” Ashley Padilla revealed during a recent THR Comedy Actor Roundtable. “We had videos on eyeballs that wasn’t going to hit millions and millions of views. Probably not something that you should maybe do, I don’t know. But she liked it.”
She continued, “I remember sitting in the office once and seeing some nasty comment or something like that. And I saw [Keaton] floating, and just doing her thing, and I’m like, oh, because she doesn’t know, she’s living in bliss.”
Consider this a parting lesson from Diane Keaton – tune out the noise, and you will have a much better time on social media. Of course, it helps if you're an Oscar winner who's appeared in everything from The Godfather to Annie Hall, and Father of the Bride through Finding Dory... and who also managed to find the time to direct an episode of Twin Peaks, as well.
