Black eye club.
It's not the kid. There's an actress (need sauce) quoted as waiting over a year to get her black eye because she was afraid of the pain.
Haven't been able to source the reason & ritual(?). Symbolism for sure.
Lots of questions about this one…
Hanks, Oprah, black eye, weird sign, nice clock!, yeah, ok, this is normal.
When you look at all the celebs, pols & higher-ups, it's obviously a rite of passage or some fucked up shit. Can't believe someone hasn't spilled beans on this.
