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!
Edit: clarified the title
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).
Keanu
Came in to say this. If Keanu gets convincingly metoo-d or something I will die a little inside.
I still recall a story on Reddit where someone claimed to have stumbled upon his house while hiking and Keanu offered to give him a ride.
I know who you meant but why my brain pictured Keanu the cat.
Only partially an actor, but I sincerely hope Weird Al Yankovic keeps being as awesome as he is.
They made a real life documentary about his life a couple years back. Squeaky clean.
I dunno, he was involved in some really shady polka parties.
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.”
Tha is for this, Jordan. This is really what my day needed 😊
People used to talk about Uncle Miltie, but Willem actually got naked for the sake of art.
Nathan Fillion, Christopher Walken, Tom Hanks
Hummm… maybe don’t read up on Christopher Walken and Natalie Woods…
You would think that being present when she disappeared would have made a bigger splash.
Or the fact that simply being present doesn’t indicate any kind of guilt, especially when the one other person present (the ship’s captain) and the police have not raised any concerns about him personally. Keep in mind it was a 58 foot boat with a dingy, not a tiny sailing vessel where everyone was in close proximity to each other at all times.
There’s some evidence Walken and Robert Wagner maybe were having an affair, and Robert and Natalie had a big fight over it. One person on the boat heard a loud noise after they were fighting, and Robert went back to his cabin right after it. But Natalie was taking pills and drinking a lot as well.
Truth is, the police never really made Robert or Walken to be suspects, even though they are really the only suspects in this. I mean honestly who cares maybe it was just an accident.
I don’t think Walken personally killed Natalie Woods tho.
I’d never heard of the story so went off digging. There’s a decent video here. Doesn’t throw any shade at Walken in fairness.
It’s a weird story, and I feel at worst Walken is involved. But yeah, even with this I still feel Walken is not one of the worst.
I definitely hope Tom Hanks isn’t a perverse person!

…all of them? Why would I want any artist I admire to be a scumbag?
I enjoy actors for their work as actors not for them being good people.
Kevin Spacey probably wasn’t acting as he often portrayed psychopathic characters in TV and films.
Same with Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama as they played as creepy guys in “That 70s Show”.
Wait, was Wilmer involved in that stuff too?
He started dating Demi Lovato when she was 17 and him at 29. But Wilmer never got any reprimand for this unlike others. Her song “29” is dedicated to him about grooming…
17 is above the age of consent in many countries though.
She still made a song about it and how inappropriate it was. The song is called 29. Lyrics are:
Petal on the vine, too young to drink wine
Just five years a bleeder, student and a teacher
Far from Innocent, what the fucks consent?
Numbers told you not to, but that didn’t stop you.
/End lyrics

You’re fucking crazy if you actually listen to her song and her words on what happened and Believe everything there was fucking honky dory.
I don’t know who either of the people are. 17 seems odd to me to say that a person doesn’t know consent, as in the UK (where I’m from) it’s 16, and a lot of us were fooling around a year or two under that.
Demi Lovato was 17 when a 29 year old man groomed her into a relationship. If your stance is 17 was “fair game” for a 29 year old. Then you’re excusing 17 year olds being fucked by middle aged men and older. Wake the fuck up, they weren’t anywhere close in age. I’m in the UK too and I’d be fucking furious if some near 30 year old was after my daughter.
Kevin Spacey probably wasn’t acting as he often portrayed psychopathic characters in TV and films.
Good example, him “acting” bad guys kind of even gets an extra layer of morbid interest to the film. But I would totally understand other actors not wanting to work with him anymore. Have no idea who the other guys are.
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.

When I was a kid, I thought Fat Albert reruns were awesome…Yeesh.
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.
Fresh Prince also helped. Carlton showed everyone that black people could be white as fuck 😂
I loved that show as a kid. My dad and I watched it every Saturday.
I admire Ed Harris as an actor. Worst I’ve heard about him is that he can be “serious” on sets (and I believe it, look at The Rock’s outtakes), but that’s just fine with me.
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.
