It must be tough being a celebrity on Twitter. Take James Franco for example – when he’s too lazy to leave the comfort of his own home (and take the necessary ten steps before a celeb worshipper offers him sexual favours) he is forced to use Tinder like other mere mortals, something that might be more difficult than it seems.

You see in this age of fake Twitter and Facebook accounts (think Catfish) people tend to be more than a little apprehensive of celebs on Tinder, swiping left and moving on to those they feel might be more honest in their approach.

That’s all about to change as Tinder are rolling out a celebrity verification tool, similar to the blue tick you might find on Twitter. This from the Mirror:

[Tinder CEO Sean Rad said] “this will allow celebrities to enter Tinder in a different way”…

Tinder’s chief marketing officer Justin Mateen has assured potential A list users that the app is a safe place for all. “Tinder gives them the control to filter through the noise and communicate with people they want to know”.

How will these celebs get their accounts verified? Sorry James Franco, it doesn’t involve sending dick pics to strangers, although we doubt that will make him stop.
