I was watching a video on Willem Dafoe on his iconic roles, and his passion to craft and life, and positivity, exudes from him immensely. In that video, I am surprised he remembers from which of his movies the lines came from. It made me love him more as an actor because he loves life and his job.

But then during the interview, I remembered too when I watched Kevin Spacey’s interview before, admiring him and it turned out he is a creep. I was telling to myself about Willem Dafoe “please don’t be a creep, please don’t be a creep.”

Willem seems like a genuinely nice guy though but I hope I don’t get proven wrong!

Edit: clarified the title

    I have a lot of criticism for most kinds of celebrity worship threads, but I’ll just throw my hat in for Jack Black. He seems like a good guy who likes making people laugh (myself included).

      Came in to say this. If Keanu gets convincingly metoo-d or something I will die a little inside.

    I’m gonna have to go with Adam Savage. I loved Mythbusters and continue to watch his Tested one day build videos today and view him as something of a role model from a creative standpoint.

    Also to chime in about your mentioning of Kevin Spacey, the guy is definitely a weirdo and has done some really tone deaf things (coming out as gay in the midst of being involved in sexual abuse accusations, posting videos of himself as Frank Underwood denying charges levied against him on YouTube, etc.), but wasn’t he acquitted of or found not guilty in literally every sexual abuse charge that was brought against him? And in both the US and the UK?

      Kevin Spacey probably wasn’t acting as he often portrayed psychopathic characters in TV and films.

      Same with Danny Masterson and Wilmer Valderrama as they played as creepy guys in “That 70s Show”.

          He started dating Demi Lovato when she was 17 and him at 29. But Wilmer never got any reprimand for this unlike others. Her song “29” is dedicated to him about grooming…

              She still made a song about it and how inappropriate it was. The song is called 29. Lyrics are:

              Petal on the vine, too young to drink wine

              Just five years a bleeder, student and a teacher

              Far from Innocent, what the fucks consent?

              Numbers told you not to, but that didn’t stop you.

              You’re fucking crazy if you actually listen to her song and her words on what happened and Believe everything there was fucking honky dory.

                I don’t know who either of the people are. 17 seems odd to me to say that a person doesn’t know consent, as in the UK (where I’m from) it’s 16, and a lot of us were fooling around a year or two under that.

                  Demi Lovato was 17 when a 29 year old man groomed her into a relationship. If your stance is 17 was “fair game” for a 29 year old. Then you’re excusing 17 year olds being fucked by middle aged men and older. Wake the fuck up, they weren’t anywhere close in age. I’m in the UK too and I’d be fucking furious if some near 30 year old was after my daughter.
