Boyfriend gets upset when I compliment celebrities

I saw an interesting question on another forum, I have copied and pasted it below. What do you guys and gals think? It's an interesting one. Do you think he's insecure?

"I have crushes on some celebrities and one of them is Ryan Gosling. For some reason when I compliment him (for example I would say his sexy or hot as he is handsome and does have big muscles), my boyfriend has a little sulk about it.

I don't get it as I will never even meet the guy and I do love my boyfriend. He won't even watch fall guy with me (the film Ryan Gosling is in). But I feel like I can't talk about some things I like as my boyfriend doesn't like hearing about Ryan and it really annoys me when he does go into a little sulk about it.

Do you think my boyfriend is insecure or am I missing something?"

i dont think hes insecure. he just is bothered by it. id tone it down. how would you like it if he was drooling all over some actress while you were trying to watch a movie? celebrity crushes are pretty immature imo now that im older because you dont know what they are like in real life and you migth not actually like them. people look different irl too a lot or you migth not like their vibe. i mean, to say it casually once in a while in conversation like oh i think hes cute referring to a celebrity you admire is one thing but gushing during the movie is yuck. especially if the actor looks nothing like your boyfriend or is younger or older or hotter.

i mean, it really depends on the situation probably and the delivery. it obviously bothers him. hes probably thinking well then they can have you.
