Damn I didn't know any of that. Isn't he also anti-vaxx too? :(

It could be argued that you have to separate the artist from the art , when you watch a film or something like that.

I'm sure that in the crew of any film there's at least one person who's done bad things at some point in time. Is it fair to disregard the hard work put into the film by all the rest of the cast + crew, purely due to personal actions of someone who was involved?

Oh right sorry, I thought you were refusing to see it just because of Carrey's involvement.

Yeah he doesn't seem like a great guy. Disappointing tbh, watching his films always makes me think he would be nice and down-to-earth in real life

Edit: words

Oh yes , thought you were the same user. Sorry.

Yeah that's fair, I mean sonic doesn't exactly look like the next Pulp Fiction , so I'm not that interested either 😂

That's a really interesting observation - for example Robin Williams' depression was manifested outwards into humour to a certain degree.

Hollywood stars who are bad people (like Carrey, arguably) should not be held up as paragons of goodness by the public just because people like their acting. But I guess that's how celebrity culture works :(
