Yeah that’s the problem really with celebrity superstars. Eventually you reach the point where there’s no one more important than you who can take you to one side and firmly tell you that if you keep banging on about xyz you’re gonna basically lose your status and all your money and clearly have the ability to make that happen.
I kinda wonder really what went on between agents/managers etc. Of famous people who have turned out to be massive pricks, antisemites, racists etc.
Can you imagine the exhasperated backroom meetings over, say, Mel Gibson when he was at that sweet spot of being famous enough that ppl would put effort into hiding his shit but not quite at the point where he couldn’t be steered or handled somewhat?
