        Look up his interview he did on Fox News last year. He basically blamed black people for there current situation in themselves and also said that Biden was a terrible president and he didn’t outright endorse Trump but he danced around it.

          Awww maaaaaannnn… Tsk really? That sucks.

          Edit, from Wikipedia:

          As part of WWE’s non-partisan “Smackdown Your Vote” campaign aiming to encourage young people to vote,[405] Johnson had a speaking role at the 2000 Republican National Convention[406] and attended the 2000 Democratic National Convention less than two weeks later.[407]

          Johnson voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012,[276] but did not vote in 2016,[408] and was an independent voter as of 2017.[409] He endorsed Joe Biden in 2020,[410] but told Fox News in an April 2024 interview that he regretted the decision due to it causing “division” and refused to endorse anyone in 2024.[411]

          Imo not good, but definitely nuanced and probably not great. I didn’t see the interview though so I don’t know.

            He’s trying to stay independent because he fantasizes about running for president one day. He even did a TV show where the framing device was him being interviewed as a presidential candidate, so they could show his life in flashbacks. It was an obvious ploy to position him as a legitimate political candidate in viewers’ minds.

            Every rich and/or famous person now thinks they should be president.

        Also of his volunteering with Oprah in Hawaii with the huge fire. Weird seeing humans that have exorbitant amount of money that can actually help, and they’re just passing out water bottles to the people that lost their homes saying that “they wish they could do more to help/hope things work out for them.” It was a publicity stunt at the expense of people who lost everything.

        Why the rock?

        I believe he refused to endorse Kamala and then like a true coward said he was keeping his political views private, its was pretty pathetic. The pathetic coward was terrified of a maga boycott of his garbage movies.

        hes also a very difficult actor to work with in the industry, hes known as the “ellen degeneres” of male actors. must have as much if not more attention as the lead in a movie, or as much action or more action than other people. also hes pretty much attention seeker, and people compared him to dave bautista, dave is actor, and he only wanted the glory of a movie star.

    There was a time when SpaceX and Tesla seemed like they were gonna change the world for the better, less co2, going to Mars and he even gave a few talks at astronomy events where he spoke about how carbon capture on Mars could be used to make rocket fuel (which is real and has been done btw) and bring starship rockets back, and how that same tech could be used on earth to help fight global warming. The future was gonna be amazing and I honestly believed he was gonna help make it happen

    there’s a real reason marvel had him in iron man 2

      Yeah, I was never a true believer or fanboy, but back before he lost his mind and fired his PR department, I was cool with the electric cars, space exploration, solar roofs, trains, and even fun flamethrowers.

    there is something about celebrity worship to be inferred from the fact that there is only 1 non-american celebrity listed in this tgread (spanish news anchor).

    that or it is selection bias

    Ricky Gervais.

    Liked him ~ The Office, Extras, podcast period, even some of his Golden Globes hosting, but now I find his “edginess” and mugging grating.

      There’s a fine line between poking fun at everything and being insufferably smug, and I reckon he’s crossed it a bit. The difference is forgetting to include yourself in ‘everything’.

      At some point I realised his “ironic” depictions aren’t ironic at all, he genuinely is just an average bigot who likes punching down.

      The only difference between him and some racist sexist ableist playground bully from the 1950s is Gervais has managed to convince a swathe of people that is ironic and edgy somehow.

      Liked him ~ The Office, Extras

      Seems to me his shtick got old right around the time “Lifes too Short” came out, that show started out with a few funny gags but by the end of it I was seriously stuck that this entire show was them making fun of a little person for no good reason.

    Sarah Silverman, said the palestinian babies need to die because theyll grow up to be terrorists then turned off comments for a year on ig, she said more than that had a whole tirade, ruined her.

          pedos rarely instrospect or apologize, because they know its wrong. one of his victims was rapp i believe. spacey was doubling down by deflecting every chance he got.

        She’s not the only one to do that. Many people precede her, including Rice and Biegel. Same within the retelling of myths and legends. Writers have been doing that for decades. There’s no need to make stuff up, he’s a horrible person without made up nonsense.

          If you read her you’ll see what I am talking about.

          One good example. In her book ‘Death’s Master’ she came up with hte idea that Death and Delusion were relatives. He expanded on that idea with The Sandman.

        If he wasn’t preachy/performative about his “feminism” it wouldn’t be as awful

        Feminism is in quotes because IMO he doesn’t believe what he preaches

          He believes it, he just doesn’t practice it.

          Like most men in power, they use it as a way to get close to people they can assert their power or dominance over.

          I think he believes he’s actually a feminist. it’s a subtle difference, but an important one. He genuinely believes he’s a good guy and the things he does helps more women than it hurts.

          That’s why he’s a piece of shit and so dangerous. He believes his own lies.

          Yep. And to think I used to admire him. I’ve had some modest success as a published science fiction and fantasy writer, and I specifically cited him as inspiration for one of my published stories.

          Wish I could take it back.

    Will Smith because of what he did to Chris Rock. Guy isn’t a genuine role model anymore.
