Dave Rubin Criticizes Actors Politicizing Films Before Release During Press Junkets
Dave Rubin Report
‘The Odyssey’ Star’s Ignorance Just Blew Up in Her Face
"The fact that it was more from the perspective a male perspective or Homer was in it more than Helen of Troy or whatever. It is what it is. It's sort of like if this was 1977 and Star Wars came out and Carrie Fischer was doing a press junket and she was like, you know, I was Leia who's Luke's sister and why weren't there more female Jedi? And it's like, lady, you got the job. Take the job. do a great job with it and then let us all judge the idea that you'd be on a press. This is what everyone hates about Hollywood, right?"
Political commentator Dave Rubin criticized actors for using promotional press tours to critique source material before audiences can judge the finished film. He specifically responded to Lupita Nyong'o's comments about The Odyssey needing more female perspectives, arguing actors should focus on their performance rather than politicizing adaptations. Rubin argues this practice contributes to Hollywood's declining popularity with audiences.
