“I just love when actors see and admire the different phases of their career and can speak to how it impacted them,” they added.
“i absolutely LOVE when actors/actresses embrace the roles that got them to where they are rather than shitting on them in desperation to be separated from it,” commented someone else. “that's our princess forever.”
“She real af for this,” added another, who called for “more established actors” to “show reverence” for the movies that put them on the map.
“I didn’t want to make those movies before I made those movies,” he said of the Netflix trilogy during an interview with GQ in November. “Those movies are ridiculous. They’re not universal. They’re an escape.”
