Original Stan Devon Sawa proves he’s still Eminem’s biggest fan with birthday message.

The real Slim Shady… er, make that Stan is standing up. The original Stan — aka actor Devon Sawa — wished Eminem a happy birthday, proving he’s still the rapper’s biggest fan 19 years later.

“Happy birthday @Eminem,” Sawa wrote on Twitter. “Sincerely yours, Stan, Ps. We should be together, too.”

Happy birthday @Eminem.

Sincerely yours, Stan,

Ps. We should be together, too.

For those who don’t know (seriously, why don’t you know?), Sawa played Eminem’s No. 1 fan in the official music video for the rapper’s 2000 song “Stan” featuring Dido. In the video, an obsessive fan, named Stan, becomes more and more deranged as each letter he writes to Eminem goes unanswered until he gets drunk and drives his car off a bridge while his pregnant girlfriend (Dido) is tied up in the trunk. Eminem eventually writes him a letter, but it’s too late — he’s already heard about Stan’s death on the news.

The song and music video — directed by Dr. Dre — for “Stan” were highly regarded as a searing look at the dark side of celebrity worship and toxic fandom, which may have only gotten worse in the years since the video came out. The word “stan” has since become synonymous for an obsessive fan, originating from the Eminem track and further popularized in the 2001 Nas song “Ether” with the lyric “You a fan, a phony, a fake, a p—y, a Stan.” The word was even added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary earlier this year as both a noun and a verb.

So here we are, nearly two decades later, and Stan is still wishing Eminem a happy birthday, even after his death, to remind us that it’s not so bad. It’s not so bad.

Next Article Following the October FIFA International break, all sixteen PSL teams will be back in action from this Friday as they face each other in the 2019 Telkom Knockout. Kaizer Chiefs were drawn against tough opponents Cape Town City in the last 16 of this league competition. The match will take place away from home in Cape Town on Saturday, 19 October. “We are looking forward to going back to Cape Town to face Cape Town City. They are a strong side, but we managed to beat them last month in their backyard,” says Chiefs No 6, Kearyn Baccus. Baccus scored his first goal for Chiefs in an Absa Premiership match played at Newlands Stadium. His goal came in the 83rd minute of the game and sealed the three points when Chiefs beat the Citizens 2-1. “I’m relishing the prospect of playing my first cup game in South Africa,” adds Baccus. We would like to win everything on offer this season. We will work hard to achieve this dream.” Another goal scorer in that match against City on 27 August, Daniel Cardoso, says he loves playing in Cape Town because he’s scored a few goals in the Mother City. His goal was in August, an equaliser in the 76th minute after the home team took the lead early in the first half. The defender says he is looking forward to meeting Benni McCarthy’s team and proceeding to the last 8 of the Telkom Knockout competition. Chiefs have won the Telkom Knockout competition a record 13 times. The last win came in 2010 and reached the final 2015. Both Baccus and Cardoso believe that the support the team received at Newlands Stadium in August will be vital when they take to the field on Saturday. “The 12th man is key for any team and we trust that the supporters will purchase their tickets early and get behind us,” adds Cardoso. The medical team has confirmed that a number of players who were out with injury are expected to be available for selection for Saturday’s match. They include George Maluleka, Samir Nurković, Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya and Reeve Frosler. Tickets for the match are available from Ticketpro outlets including Edgars, CNA, Jet stores and Spar Supermarkets at a cost of R60 per tickets. The match will kick off at 15:00 at the Cape Town Stadium. Cape Town City vs Kaizer Chiefs
