Celebrities can do nothing right in some people's eyes. If they're too serious or intellectual, they're mocked for it. If they're too frivolous, they're criticized.

They can't win. So they'd better do whatever they heck they want!!!

Also, shame on you. I'd like to see you handle intense scrutiny and dissection of your every move and social media post, OP. See whether you think that's fair.

What a weird comment. Either you are around the bend in your celebrity worship or you've been accused of taking yourself too seriously and over-identify, or both.

There is nothing wrong with being serious and intellectual. For instance Carrie Coon, one of my favorite working actors, is serious and intellectual. But she does not take *herself* too seriously, which means she stays likable and interesting.

There is a difference between being intellectually curious, well-read, and serious about serious issues, and walking around patting yourself on the back, acting like you are the only person who knows anything about anything. And to do this as an actor or celebrity whose life's work has nothing to do with the subjects you claim to be an expert in? It's annoying. Even worse is when these people lecture non-wealthy, non-famous people about these issues with no self-awareness that the average person can't fly to Africa to meet with people in famine or make their home carbon neutral or whatever. The average person is trying to afford childcare so they can work, and hoping they don't have a health crisis that would bankrupt them.

There are celebs who don't get that and they are annoying. [/quote]
