My son is big cinephile, and he complains about how contemporary movies are all filled with people who look like nepo-baby actors. He says they all have iPhone face: no matter what time period they’re supposed to be in, they all look like they’ve seen an iPhone.
He longs for the old days when older unattractive actors were in demand as character actors.
I always find the first moments of movies with famous actors disconcerting. Why is Jack from Titanic here? Oh, he is not Jack from Titanic, just has his body-suit…
The Bear had an episode with a family reunion where everyone was a famous actor, so you have some familiarity with them, but they were so characterized, it wasn’t off-putting.
I do agree though those actors that are always the same persona (e.g. The Rock), do throw me away from what I’m watching.
I genuinely do not want to see famous actors in any media, at all. I don’t want to recognize anyone in a movie.
