Sandra Bullock
What a flip-flop of achievements for Sandra Bullock.
She scooped up an Oscar for her work as the caring mother in The Blind Side as Best Actress, just after getting a Golden Raspberry (Razzie) for All About Steve as Worst Actress. And yet this contrast has still shown her to keep her humble grace on stage.
Whether this is a careful ploy to keep an image that non-celebrities can enjoy relating to, or she really is shocked and thankful to be where she is isn’t as important as the image she has as an actor that can take it on the chin (and also make out with Meryl Streep).
It’s brought up the question -- What’s more important: An actor who creates art with their talent, or someone you’d want to have a drink with?
Couldn’t an actor be left to do their piece of artistic beauty, then be hidden from the limelight?
No. It’s not how it works. If you’re good at what you do, people will seek you out. If you have soy coffees, someone out there wants to know. It’s all obsessive stalking behaviour, but until people see these strange obsessions as anything but necessary for our lives, the people paid lots of money to have fun in front of a camera will be hassled.
Best bring your biggest smiles for the flashing lights once you step out of your front door.
Here’s an example:
Nathan Fillion
5 Actors who are apparently “super, super nice”
5 Actors who are apparently also “bastards”
Does this change your opinion of the films they’ve been involved with? Does William Shatner ‘shatnering’ over his fans who have put him to his Godlike status make his Boston Legal work look less funny? Are you unchanged by Russell Crowe’s mobile phone throwing skills?
