Why are some actors treated like gods?

Ooops. Apologies.

Post deleted.

I think their sheer amount of wealth, fame and being surrounded by "yes men" and hangers on, can send a lot of them loopy. You need only look at Will Smith and his family lifestyle. The fella had a melt down, but is still treated like Holywood royalty. The spin put on it now is that he is "human" etc and seeks "forgiveness". It is a vicious circle.

I know he has only being an occasional actor, in the likes of Pirate of the Caribbean . But it is why I am very impressed at how Paul McCartney has "survived" his fame and fortune. He somehow has managed to stay grounded and relatively "normal" despite it. I am not sure many people have been successful in doing that.

Taylor swift is more popular than any actor ,

The movie business is in a crisis .theres been no big movie hit this year, less people are going to the cinema, trends change every year, the last 2 years has been good for irish actors.many aaa movies don,t make a profit .i think young people are more interested in youtubers, pop singers or popular tik tok creators than

the average movie star.

movie stars have to spend months promoting movies going on talk shows ,which is probably not much fun.

taylor swift sells out concert arena venues in a few hours.

I was at the movies about a month back on a tinder date. Monday night, place was deserted. Screen whatever, middle seats in the back row. Only 1 other couple came in and sat a few rows down but in the corner.

Anyway after the shift I had her boobs out and she was reaching for more than the popcorn, things were going great.

Then we were rudly interrupted by staff who came in with a torch and shined it at ourselves and the other couple.

And they wonder why the cinemas are empty nowadays FFS

No idea what the movie was btw

Yes, even Mel Gibson....they are a superior form of life and fart rainbows. Its a well known fact.

We're meant to think that they're teaching us something truly important about life from what they're expressing through the acting in the movie's story, but in reality all they're doing in trying to do is make us feel the emotions that they think we want. Often these actors have very little wisdom to share anyway, as they have been spoiled from an early age.

I wonder if the mere fact that so many movies involve the lead character being a writer, if this is a testament to the fact that these the script writers haven't had a lot of life experience in any other line of work. So not only are they not contributing to society, but they make movies about people who don't contribute to society… which the masses are less likely to relate to.

Most of these celebs are sheep and don't deserve praise. For example, Meryl Streep gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation… a man who sexually assaulted 10 underage girls (the youngest being 9)!. Although she at least didn't sign petition to acquit him of the rape he was caught for… unlike Sigourney Weaver and Harrison Ford.

There's been tonnes of great movies released this year; Dune Part 2, The Holdovers, Godzilla Minus One, The Iron Claw, Monkey Man, Challengers, The Zone of Interest, Poor Things, Furiosa, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, All of Us are Strangers, Love Lies Bleeding, The Fall Guy.

I could go on but there's been no shortage of great movies to see in the cinema this year and a lot of the ones I've mentioned are original IP's and not sequels or remakes which has dominated the cinema for the past decade.

Why not? Most of us like to be liked, admired, respected. If I had the talent or charisma I'd be out charming people too.

And really actors are made do that, their whole career revolves around making connections, if a top actor today can afford to be an ass and treat people like crap it's still near certain that they buttered up to the right people.
