In the age of cancel culture, political correctness and celebrity activism, there are a few Hollywood celebrities who have chosen to step back from the fray.
Goldie Hawn and Rosanna Arquette both recently spoke out about their roles as entertainers in a time where Hollywood activists often clash with middle America.
The 76-year-old Oscar winner Goldie Hawn discussed her stance on political activism in Hollywood during an interview with Megyn Kelly.
She believes that entertainers should strive to “serve” all people rather than trying to act holier than thou and lecture middle America about morality.
Hawn declared she will stay in her lane when it comes to politics and instead focus on using her platform to bring emotion, joy and tears through performing for all people.
On the other hand, 62-year-old Emmy nominated actress Rosanna Arquette received a reality check after posting support for recalling Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon on social media.
Despite having 224,000 followers on Twitter, the post only received 20 likes due to not being supported by her fellow Hollywood crowd.
With Los Angeles homicides soaring to their highest level in 15 years, Arquette signed onto supporting the campaign for common sense crime prevention measures implemented by Gascon’s recall effort.
At the 2020 Golden Globe Awards show comedian Ricky Gervais unleashed his own memorable tongue lashing at Hollywood celebrities for lecturing Americans on issues they know nothing about.
He advised award winners not use their awards as platforms to make political speeches because they were “in no position” do so since most had less education than Greta Thunberg. Gervais concluded his rant by telling them simply “thank your agent…and f**k off!”
