Here is a chapter from it. I would roll my eyes, but the best actors are trained and or at least work with an acting coach on a regular basis.

That is why I watch older films. Everyone came from the theater back than and went to drama school. Acting is an instrument that needs to be practiced and studied on the regular.

"That mystery is gone. For the most part, we’ve done that to ourselves,”- Ana De Armas

"I mean, listen, I can mess shit up in the real world. Don’t give me another avenue."- Jonathan Majors

I'm glad more celebs are slowly avoiding social media, cause they're right. The mystery and allure of celebs is removed with that. Plus Jonathan is right about screwing up irl vs social media. In real life you can screw up and fix it with the grace of privacy whereas online....everybody knows, everybody keeps an archive, and no one forgives.

"I'm glad more celebs are slowly avoiding social media, cause they're right. The mystery and allure of celebs is removed with that."

IA but I imagine it may be a difficult tradeoff for some to make. Some celebrities only stay collecting checks because of their social media presence.

[genbu_no_miko24]

The celebrity who are not in demand would absolutely take a hit. But not all celebs who are on there are talking about their personal lives, some are more sponsor/ad stuff which I guess is smarter cause you're selling stuff instead of uploading everything moment of your life.

Yeah I think some (especially soap actors) are told that they have to be on there to promote the show. Others will just have a social media team, which I think is a good route for musicians who can curate their feed more vs posting personal stuff.

"- On what makes a Movie Star: "Look, there’s a time I thought it was a dirty word, you know what I mean? Movie star. In school, you would never dream of saying something so ambitious. Michael [B. Jordan] is such a good example of a movie star because movie stars have to appeal to the bourgeois and the proletariat. Movie stars can show a film in Montana. Movie stars are dangerous to politicians. It’s a different type of burden."

Totally true cause 20-30 years ago, being a movie star was criticized/looked down upon by a lot of the indie/arthouse types. But I think the movie stars def won out...especially financially cause they're not hurting for a paycheck and have the luxury of waiting for a good script or fund their projects instead of constantly fighting.

Another thing is having ambitions or openly talking about is still considered dirty by actors even though 99% of actors are ambitious and awards-hungry but can't say out loud.

I see you Florence, not wanting to give DWD any more of your attention, lol. I also noticed that she described shooting her latest movie as an extremely positive experience when asked about DWD so I think she probably had a really awful time on that set.

- The 'Don't Worry Darling' question: "Ideally I don’t really want to be going down the Don’t Worry Darling conversation because this whole release for The Wonder has been so positive and I’ve been really excited to talk about that. I don’t really feel the need to go into the nitty-gritty details of Don’t Worry Darling. So if it’s okay, I’ll probably just let that one sit."

Actually it’s not ok because I need to know.
