reddit user @Tricolet asked "What are your biggest “Nah, that's bullshit, I don't buy it” statements from actors and filmmakers?" and here are some of the answers, you can read the whole thing at the source.
- Celebrities confidently denying very clear and undeniable plastic surgery.
- When nepo babies insist that their rich and famous families had no impact on their rise to success.
Or-even worse-the occasional claim that they actually had it HARDER as a result of family wealth and fame compared to an average person.
- Mandy Patinkin once claimed he’d spent enough time playing a cardiac surgeon on Chicago Hope that he could perform a heart transplant. I mean, he seemed like he believed it, so it’s as much bullshit as a super-dumb statement.
- When actors get super bulked up for a movie and then claim it's only by eating and exercises.
Sure 50+ yr old Hugh Jackman, I believe that your insanely jacked 10-pack body is only from the gym and healthy eating.
- Christopher Walken saying he doesn’t know what happened to Natalie Wood. He knows something.
- I do not believe George Lucas when he describes the Star Wars story being fully formed from the beginning. I have a vhs from before the prequel trilogy was released where he says he wrote a 6 part story and had to start with episode 4 because of special effects limitations. I don’t buy it. Because there are just too many inconsistencies. The first draft of A New Hope didn’t even have Darth Vader. Incidentally I feel the same way when JK Rowling talks about Harry Potter. It’s ok for something to develop over time. It’s not reality, it’s playing pretend. Just admit that.
