maggots have a free lunch
Why can’t singers just sing, and actors just act?

Because - let’s face it - many (if not most) entertainers are self-absorbed degenerates. They might be able to fake decency (to a certain extent). But it’s really not in their nature.
Mick Jagger went to the London School of Economics, and is quite sophisticated in managing money. He is also said to support the Conservative Party in UK politics.
I’ll pass
Typically performers who reach the pinnacle of their profession focus an inordinate amount of time on that effort. Because of this they fail to develop normal skills, whether it's relationships or being able to throw a ball, or understanding world events in the context of a normal person. Thus, when they step outside their box, they are typically way outside the bounds of normalcy, common sense, and reality. So they do this at their own reputational peril. Thee is a famous line about this: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
De Sneero has learned his lines well, but without script he comes across as a blithering idiot sulfuring from Bidenitis.
It's not right but it's the way it is because we have tolerateed it for so long.
They could say nothing at all about politics - which is the wisest path to take, I think.
An aside about Mick Jagger, I last saw the Rolling Stones live at the LA Coliseum back in 1981. Concert was somewhat infamous for being the one that Prince got booed off the stage at. Rock and Roll audiences weren't ready for that kind of music yet, as well, we were more looking forward to seeing George Thorogood open the show. Prince was not George Thorogood!
Even back then - well over 40 years ago - the jokes were already going around about the "Rolling Bones" tour. By that point, they were already among the dinosaurs of rock.
I did not have a good time at the show. I had cheap seats and could hardly see them. I never did like seeing rock concerts in huge stadiums.
These idiots have enough money to shield themselves from the realities of the modern day world. Their vast wealth has given them a warped vision of life far distant from reality.
They live in safe, gated neighborhoods, behind security walls with 24/hour guards and camera monitoring systems and travel everywhere on private jets and in limos.
Yet they are sure they know how to run the world and your life better than you do.
They are puppets and owe their success to the entertainment industry. They are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. If De Niro said, “Yeah, I’m going to vote for Trump because he’s tough like me and from NY. The man is a genius at finances and a celebrity. What more does America want!” he’d be down the crapper, sleeping with the fishes, with Hollywood.
The US Treasury department confiscated $30 million from De Niro’s estate in July 2017. Guess who was president?
De Niro did not bother to contest the confiscation. Wonder why? Hint, it involves celebrities engaging in sex with minors overseas. De Niro likes them dark. Someone should ask him why his African wife of 20 years decided to divorce him during that time. Di Niro is a scumbag pedophile who should be rotting in jail. /spit
Someone on another thread called Jagger a pickle smoocher. It bears repeating.
He's repeated the same role in every movie he's been in, and any random Italian-American from Brooklyn could act the role just the same.
