Would you ever not watch a film because the main star is a dick irl?

Top Gun was one of my favourite films as a kid but I’m loosing interest in the sequel knowing that Tom Cruise is a bit of prick, what with his tantrums, delaying the movie release until the lock downs ended so he could milk every penny out of his audience and the Scientology crap.

Yes. I don’t watch new movies since 2017. When actors become political and Woke, I no longer watch. It spoils my enjoyment, and most of the rubbish that comes out these days is the Woke lecturing the rest of us.

@Carissimi You think every film in the last five years is political and woke?
Carissimi · F
As I haven’t seen every movie that was released in the past 5-years, I can’t say all of them are Woke, but the actors that I would normally go watch have become political and Woke. @WintaTheAngle

If the acting is good I try not to know who they are irl. It’s almost never good. But then again your favorite server at your favorite restaurant is also probably a real jerk away from work, sooo… 🤷‍♂️

Yes! I do not like Ben Stiller, so I won’t watch any he’s in.
I agree with you on Tom Cruise, in the 80’s & 90’s yes, now no way.

@Jeephikelove I don't know why, but I can't stand Ben Stiller, either.

Tom Cruise I actively avoid. Probably Mel Gibson also.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@SunshineGirl Yes I second that, Mel Gibson should just disappear.

Yes, when I lose interest in an artist, I lose it in their work too.

There are a few that put me off, Ryan Reynolds and Rebel Wilson being two. Not that they are dicks necessarily though. They don't tend to be in films I would otherwise like though, anyway. I don't like Tom Cruise irl but I can put it aside enough to enjoy his films usually.
Generally they delay movies because it's a business. Everyone wants their business to enough profit as possible.

Also a movie involves 1000s people's job. It's kind of important for them.


I have no comments on Tom Cruise's behaviour.

No, I don't really care but I've lost interest in some music before for that reason. It must be something very bad though, like turning out to be a misogynic sadistic shit or something like that.

Top Gun was one of my favourite films as a kid

I would just watch that first one again.
The new one looks like the same thing, prolly made from shots not used on the first film.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@Budwick Yeah. They’re certainly catering for a basic audience.

Goose’s son has a moustache just so they audience doesn’t get confused.

I have zero interest in him or that movie. I wouldn't watch another Mission Impossible with him either.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@SW-User Those MI films are so bad.

I can't really stomach Mark Wahlberg movies because of his personality in real life.
Yeah, I don't watch him in any more movies.

I personally don't know them, therefore I will not form a judgmental opinion based off of media portrayals

What if in real life, they take good care of their parents, yet the media makes them out to be ogres?
Are they good people? I don't know them, so truly don't know.

@jshm2 I don’t consider him above me. I have things he hasn’t.
Fukfacewillie · 56-60, M
Yes, I refuse to watch anything with Ben Affleck or Mel Gibson.
SW-User
I've hardly watched any tom cruise movies. That's pretty much the reason why.
WintaTheAngle · 41-45, M
@SW-User He has made some shockers.
