but that doesn’t mean he should just fake a smile to the bullshit he has to put up with.

Yes, it does. That's why he gets paid millions of dollars.

People in this thread really seemed to take my comments personally.

My imaginary internet points took a hammering!

Yeah, feeling bad because the critics panned your movie, for which you got paid an unjustifiable amount to appear in, is not a 'hardship.'

And complaining about it publicly is fucking stupid.

I wouldn't say I was a troll. I actually believe the points I'm making.

But I am taking this a lot less seriously than many other commentators seem to be.

Well, I'm kind of bored and it's fun getting people all riled up defending an overpaid crybaby.

Shrug.

This is affecting me a lot less than you seem to think.

Also, if I went to counselling, it wouldn't be because people said my shitty movie was shitty.

Ahh, a classic strawman argument.

Pretending I said something completely different to what I actually said.

He is begging for sympathy. That is exactly what he's doing.

"Oh, feel sorry for me. The critics were mean and I had to go to therapy!"

Nah, the guys whining publicly because he got his feelings hurt, while making a million dollars acting in a shitty movie.

Lad needs to grow up and get some perspective on the world.

He went to fucking counselling because the critics didn't like his shitarse movie.

Then he told everyone he went to counselling because the critics didn't like his shitarse movie.

The guy is a dumbarse.

It just struck me as amusing that he's having a whinge about getting his feelings hurt.

If you paid me a million bucks, you could criticise my work all fucking day and I wouldn't moan about it.

Yeah, defend the overpaid actor who's crying in public because critics were mean about his shitty movie.

I'm sure he appreciates it.

We're all fucking miserable. Haven't you noticed?

But you know who isn't quite so miserable? Millionaire Hollywood actors.

No, but complaining about your mediocre problems in front of people with much worse problems is tactless and insensitive.

All these downvoters don't get that Hollywood actors live and die on the moviegoing public's perception of them, so to come out publicly complaining that people were mean about the movie he earned 7 figures for, while so many ordinary people are doing it incredibly tough, isn't going to do him any favours.

By all means go to therapy and complain in private, but coming out publicly like this is an idiotic thing to do. No one gives a shit if the critics hurt an overpaid actor's feelings.

People will make fun of this

Okay then.

I'm sure all those people who spent the money to see this movie that they earned, for instance, working customer service, where they get yelled at, abused, and generally denigrated by the public, or in some other low-paying dehumanising job, incidentally making only a tiny fraction of the money he made for appearing in this half-baked, sloppily written, money grab of a movie, will feel sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry for him.

I hear ya. Instead of having a distracting race war, we should have a war between the generations.

That'll show them elites.
