Hypocrite Actors


Does nobody else see the irony in actors being activists and then taking parts in movies in which they portray the people they are voicing opinion against? And it's not like they're just playing these parts, they're showing these people in a positive light.

How many times have you been entranced by the "bad boy" or "bad girl" protagonist and just enjoyed watching them sell drugs, take drugs, shoot guns, kill people, have sex, dress cool, etc.

I don't think anybody will argue that Johnny Depp looked cool as fuck in Blow. Throughout the movie he's buying weed, smoking weed, selling weed, smuggling weed, going to jail, selling coke, doing coke, banging hot Columbians that do coke when they're pregnant, disappointing his daughter, and going to jail for the rest of his life. Now imagine watching this same movie after seeing Johnny Depp make an appearance and being an activist for the DEA. That is the kind of shit I'm talking about.

I'm sorry to have to single people out but I may as well start at the top. Actually, I'm not sorry...these people deserve to be called out on their hypocrisy.

Case in point: Angelina Jolie.

This chick prances about the world, preaching safe sex, world peace, non-violence, and AIDS awareness in Africa, amongst others. It's a new issue a week with this one.

Watch any of her movies. I can't remember a part she's played where she wasn't making having unprotected sex and shooting guns look so awesome. It looks like the most fun anybody could possibly have....and it pretty much is.....unless you added doing drugs and eating to the mix.

My point is this, if you are going to tell people to have safe sex and preach world peace and non-violence, maybe you should stop looking so cool when you're doing all of these things in your movies. In Mr. and Mrs. Smith, shooting guns turned her on so much that she ends up banging the person she was shooting at. Not exactly role model behavior.

In Tomb Raider, shes steals and shoots guns while looking cool...doesn't make me not want to do the same. Even in real life she said she wanted to "taste everybody in the world" before she died .....thats a really hookerish line if I ever heard one. I guess thats why the UN likes her so much, she wants to taste the world....not just America.

Nothing pisses me off more than hypocrites. If Actors want to play these bad ass cool parts in movies, they should shut their fucking mouths in the real world. So, hypocrite actors, I hate you.
