"I’ve always been someone who felt we are court jesters," said Russell who stars alongside Hawn in Netflix's Christmas Chronicles 2. "That’s what we do. As far as I’m concerned, you should step away from saying anything so that you can still be seen by the audience in any character."

Henry Fonda- a liberal- tried to tell his daughter to stay out of politics= she of course didn’t listen, and is now perhaps them ost hated celeb going practically- though deniro is vying for the title
What about Gloria Estefan?
Gotta hand it to him & Goldie. They have kept their relationship alive & vibrant for a very long time.
They seem to stay together because they WANT TO BE THERE.
Imagine all the actors
the musicians too
would stick to acting and singing
with no political views.
Exactly- you lose around 1/4 or so of your fans when you come out politically either way- There are several actors actresses i will not watch anymore because of their extreme disgusting political nonsense- Don’t care to enrich such hateful people personally- They couldn’t are less of course- but still- when i see their movies advertised i just see the seething liberal hatred oozing out of them- and can’t get into their movie character anymore-
Since a thread on actors has been opened, I will throw in my two cents on a related topic.
The two guys who starred in Weekend at Bernie’s really got rooked at the Oscars. They should have walked away with the best supporting actors award!! :)
John Lenin is spinning in his grave.
DeNiro didn’t give aid and comfort to the enemy, in country while they were torturing our troops in POW jail
Fonda wasn’t political
“Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” works here too.
Yep, every time I see Alec Baldwin or Robert DeNiro I think - that's the wimpy unbalanced kooky Lefty with mental illness.
Acting is a craft that produces what end? Delusions perpetrated by the delusional.
Robert Duval is known to have said, “Just Shut Up And Act”....
Jane Fonda and most of the actor crowd all have the same problem. They are very stupid people. However, like all very stupid people they think that they are towering intellectuals.
According to Wikipedia, Kurt Russell is a hunter and stanch supporter of gun rights.
That is true but in a way-he’s-also expressing what has happened to people who are not in entertainment... we can’t safely express our views EITHER. And we are much more vulnerable than people who can afford personal security
Wise advice for a business person. Given the current environment, talking politics could make 40 to 60% of your customers mad and start them looking elsewhere for your goods and services.
If you’re in Hollywood, just listen to old Jack Burton.
Keep your mouth shut!
