Yep, but it seems many who attain fame and fortune in front of a camera will not keep their mouth shut in real life, they are their own worst enemy.
Equally amazing is that an actor who is a nutjob/a$$h0le away from the movie camera can yet project intelligent and likeable characters on screen (if you watch them there dispassionately).
Of course, they are particularly prone to the blandishments of celebrity; so many are in the profession because of the adulation they receive from the public. And this attention from the man in the street is what makes an actor an effective pitchman for this or that company or cause (at least until his private behavior becomes too publicly egregious).
For better or worse.

I’m all gooey about him the way Zero fans are over Zero. He loves me and will be mine, he just doesn’t know it yet. :)
