How does this man still have a career, we've known he is a predator for so long. Like decades at least.
And he is shit at acting.
More importantly, he's box office poison.
Which really does lend credibility to the idea that he either has some Epstein-style blackmail on some influential people in Hollywood and/or he's still providing them with unsavory, or illegal, experiences.
He's rich. He produced tron so he got to say he was the lead in it. Rich people suck.
Yea something is up.
This is the genuinely such an agonizing flip side to it like if we are gonna employ a sex criminal at least get an actor who isnt total ass and ruins every movie he is in. Dude is allergic to emotion, wooden, and sucks to work with. It makes no sense. There are so many pervs in hollywood I know at least one of them has to be able to act better than this asshole
He’s got to be one of them that traffics or supplies women to the rest.
He peaked as Jordan Catalano in My So-Called Life, an intellectually stunted, emotionally empty symbol of naive adolescent desire. For some reason, he was really able to sink into that role.
I think he's a repulsive person, but in my opinion he's been electric in several roles, like Requiem and Panic Room.
His performance, if you can even stand degrading other actors and actresses by using the term with his name attached to it, in Bladerunner 2049 was a look inside his brain. That was Jared in 2049, not some tech overlord he was pretending to be.
You're confused on why a sexual predator is still working in an industry famously run by sexual predators?
And spearheaded in a country that famously keeps and defends sexual predators in positions of power?
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the USA was a mistake
Well, I'd hazard an alternative: I believe what the settlers did -- after the murderers cleared the American population out of their new home -- standing up and challenging the leadership, even, if necessary, forming a cohesive army of rebels to violently fight for rights they deemed at the time absolutely vital and worth such a barbaric and last-resort act as killing for, is something I appreciate. The mistake was her people letting the leadership bring the country down quicker than any grieving Middle-Eastern victim turned international activist.
Quote of the last twenty years of several countries: We Need Another Revolution.
The /mistake/ appears to have been Jefferson/Madison not lining the God-botherers up against a wall and shooting them when they had a chance.
Ha! That's rich. Americans are too lazy and self entitled to have an actual revolution. Half would spiral into existential crisis if the lights went out, and the other half would be politicizing why the lights were on in the first place.
Like most predators. Everyone knows for decades and hardly anyone does anything about it. The ones who speak up are called sluts, liars, clout-seekers, attention whores, etc.
You know why.
Usually they get excused if they're talented. This dude isn't even a great actor
Pretty privilege, money, or both?
He is a fucking terrible actor so I refuse to believe it's talent
It’s our rape culture.
Ask Hollywood why they cover for perverts
Dude, we all a little perverted if we're honest. Don't throw us honest perverts under the bus with creeps like him
I feel like this is why we keep seeing him in movies despite the fact he's box office kryptonite.
He's somebody's favorite sex pest.
With him and Russell Brand looking so much alike, I can't help but feel that the look is a giveaway sign.
