Actors don’t seem to realize they’re on the job while promoting their movie. They need to leave all their baggage and opinions at home and act their part. This is what separates progressions from hacks who lucked into a paycheck.
Zero media training.
Typically athletes (except for basketball) have excellent media training. The media is always trying to catch them off guard with "gotcha" questions but usually they are prepared to respond with a diplomatic answer.
Could it be the actor(ess) already got paid in full. What they say now can be woke to no end, they have their $$$
Back in Hollywood’s Golden Age of the big studios and actors under contracts, they were not allowed to speak anything in public without clearance from the PR department. Sam Goldwyn, Louis Mayer and other studio head knew that losing half your audience to some stupid political stunt would be the box office poison for them. Maybe the studios should go back to that system. Tell the actors to keep their mouths shut and act!................
