I was watching a video on Willem Dafoe on his iconic roles, and his passion to craft and life, and positivity, exudes from him immensely. In that video, I am surprised he remembers from which of his movies the lines came from. It made me love him more as an actor because he loves life and his job.

But then during the interview, I remembered too when I watched Kevin Spacey’s interview before, admiring him and it turned out he is a creep. I was telling to myself about Willem Dafoe “please don’t be a creep, please don’t be a creep.”

Willem seems like a genuinely nice guy though but I hope I don’t get proven wrong!

      I would keep an eye on leo de caprio.

      Doesn’t he have a thing for younger women? I think the joke is that he doesn’t date anyone over 26, and he’s 49 years old now. Its not THAT bad but its not far off. If its true.

        On the surface it’s weird and kinda creepy, but nothing more than that. Of course it’s possible that he could be a controlling guy in his relationships or even worse, but we have no indication for that.

          I think some people enjoy being with young people and as far as i am concerned if someone is 18 , consented and keeping a straight head like no booze or drugs i don’t care who they sleep with . But yeah as he is rich and famous i should keep an eye on that

            I dont think the sleeping with someone is the problematic thing usually.

            In relationships with a big age gap, there tends to be a certain group of people who date young because younger people dont stand up as much against shitty behaviour. That’s a simple fact. Does that mean everyone who dates young is an abusive asshole? No. But a certain percentage is, and that’s what we need to keep an eye on.

        Lookup Mildred Baena though I guess that was fairly tame compared to other scandals I’ve seen.

    Only partially an actor, but I sincerely hope Weird Al Yankovic keeps being as awesome as he is.

    My bunny Ben does great impressions of Joe Pesci, just masterful performances. Most of Ben’s scandals are actually normal for a bunny, like pooping on the floor. I hope he keeps it that way.

    I have a lot of criticism for most kinds of celebrity worship threads, but I’ll just throw my hat in for Jack Black. He seems like a good guy who likes making people laugh (myself included).

        And his mom was a NASA engineer who worked on an issue with the abort guidance system while in labor with Jack. (See Judith Cohen)

      When I was pretty young I was a little reflexively racist, didn’t trust the black kids in my class kind of thing.

      Bill Cosby’s comedy got through to me. I’ll be damned if he’s gonna take back from me the good he gave me.

        You didn’t answer my question. You could have just ignored it and scrolled along, but I won’t say that is what you should do. After all, what kind of person tries to tell people how they should contribute to a conversation?

    I’m worried if I actually answer this I’m going to get replies like “Haha yeah they seem so nice right? Anyway here’s a video of them kicking a cat while bragging about all the assaults they’ve gotten away with”

    Anyway John Cena seems so genuinely kind I’d be crushed to find out otherwise. Weird Al, too, always seems like he’s just a really friendly weirdo trying to bring joy to everyone

      John Cena claimed Taiwan was a country, then had to make an apology video - in Chinese - for referring to Taiwan as an independent nation. I hope he was just forced to say that under contract, but it’s kind of shitty he had to apologize to China. I’d respect him more if he stuck to his guns and stood up for Taiwan.

        Not to be apologetic for John Cena, but it is technically correct that Taiwan is not an independent nation. I’m not going into too much details but I think the broader implication for not supporting Taiwan at any capacity is that Mainland Communist China’s dominance in Asia will get more credence, and signaling that the world will not support a democracy to sustain their way of life.

    The #1 thing to know about Willem Dafoe is apparently he has a monster cock.

    One film, he had a nude scene, and they had to set him up with a body double because his own was too distracting.

    Von Trier replied: “We had to [have a stand-in d**k], because Will’s was too big.”

    Journalist Peter Keough then asked Von Trier: “To fit on screen?” to which he replied: “No, too big because everybody got very confused when they saw it.”
