Life is absurd. Lean into it.
I don't know about this. Pop stars have to build an image that people identify with them. Movie stars play a role and people understand that role lasts 2 hours.
Maybe I'm just thinking about musicians in general. Everyone from James Brown to Johnny Cash Bobby Brown to Tupac moved and lived a fukkery filled life and still sold millions and influenced millions, meanwhile when you you move like that as an actor you get ostracized. See Robert Downey, see Gary Busey, Charlie Sheen.
I mean you have your Angelina Jolie's...but I wouldn't say she's more influential than Beyonce or 15 other artists I can name off the dome.
