Bravery in Hollywood

[Ben]

Hollywood always celebrates "bravery" if it's people coming out of the closet, doing some LGBTQWERGHFJUTY stuff, etc. Not super brave, IMO, since Hollywood embraces that.

Whether you're religious or not,  I think you have to respect that what Chris Pratt did here, especially it being an MTV event, is actually "being brave" in Hollywood. This is the kind of thing that will get an actor blacklisted. Pratt is also a hunter and takes a lot of heat for it, but still talks about it on social media all the time.

I was quite surprised to see that not only were there no perceptible "boos", there was a good deal of applause.

That was a refreshing change.  It certainly took more courage to say than what that putz De Niro has been spewing recently.

That's an even better example of what Hollywood calls "brave". Drop an F bomb about a guy 99% of your audience hates. Wow, what a backbone.

Funny, I saw that some Trump supporter disrupted De Niro's Broadway play, and the cast and crew was furious about someone injecting politics into their play.

Saw the same thing. T'was funny.

I've always liked Chris Pratt. Never knew what his politics were because he usually keeps that to himself.

Well part of that speech threw me for a loop...

He has rather popular and successful of late.  It will be interesting to see how his career progresses now that he's "out".
