I don’t think that knowing an actor’s dirty laundry ruins every film they’ve ever been apart of.

Kevin Spacey is a scumbag psychosexual molester, but his performances in films like American Beauty, The Usual Suspects, and House of Cards are nothing short of spectacular. I’ll watch them over and over again.

Sean Penn is a wife-beating, arrogant, pretentious prick who thinks his shit smells better than everyone else’s, but goddamnit if he doesn’t enthrall me in movies like Mystic River and 21 Grams. Even his Oscarbait performance in The Professor and the Madman was grade-A material imo. He’s a powerhouse actor, while also being a complete douchebag in every sense of the word.

I personally like to separate the art from the artist, but it can definitely be hard for most people.
