Who exactly are the big stars in Hollywood now?
I mean Johnny Depp in 2004 huge. Brad Pitt in the late 90s huge.
I guess I'm asking who is the Taylor Swift of Hollywood? Pic rel?

i couldn't tell you who that would have been 10 years ago either. at some point i think it will be time to admit media in general is a sinking ship and soon will be considered a relic of past times and peoples and no longer meant for the current world
Tim -- Tom Cruise
Austin Butler -- Brad Pitt (remember Dune 2 was his 12 monkies)
Barry Keoghan -- Johnny Depp (weird frick who picks weird roles and can act well)
Butler is just about there. He’s one hit away from it I’d say. Most people wouldnt know his name yet which I think is an important part. Gosling could also take it. He tends to not give a frick in a certain way though, I don’t think he’d embrace the mantel of super star.
I have unironically never heard of Austin Butler and I don't recognize his face. Apparently he was in the Once upon a time Tarantino flick but I don't recall him.
If you don't know who Austin butler is idk what to tell you. You are not tuned into pop culture enough to be part of this conversation
That's possible but I'm not totally unaware either. I know who Chalamet is
homosexual
agreed
op is probably the only example of one I can think of that's not 40+
gay
Yeah, see. He’s not a household name. He was Elvis, in P2 of Dune, is in that biker movie coming out, hosted a great SNL (hope he comes back).
This. Don't mind the other homosexuals in this thread. I saw him in Masters of the Air and that's it until I see his Dune character shilled on this board.
There are zero A-list stars out in Hollywood now.
There are women though. Like Zendaya, Sydney Sweeny, Greta Gerwig, etc.
It's probably Chalamet but I don't feel like he's actually quite as big of a deal as people like DiCaprio were. Then again I'm not sure how to gauge this
Its because movies are nowhere near as good anymore.
Nah.. the reason the A list sort of hollwood movie star is going extinct is due to two major issues. The first one being the bulk of films are franchise, sequels, spin off of large already known IPs. So viewer care more about a given IP than they do the actor who is filling some role.
the other issue is everyone's interests can now be micro tuned. It's why you see people going to shit like Twitch com to meet absolute nobodies who just stream a video game or whatever. That all siphons off interest in some given movie and movie star.
I don’t know Tom holland seems have a fanbase
>Brad Pitt in the late 90s huge
No he wasnt
>Women creamed their pants over Interview With a Vampire, which made $200 million.
>Se7en made over $300 mill. Keep in mind this was in 1995 and it was an R-rated crime drama. That was a lot of fricking money for a movie that wasn't fantasy to make back then.
>Started dating Aniston in 1998 while Friends was still huge
But it was Seven and Fight Club that really made him a movie star, so he was bigger just after. In the 00s.
But he was still really famous, everyone knew who brad pitt was before those movies
I think he had legend of the fall and a river runs through it
Goose is still at his peak
Maybe chalamet,glen powell, RDJ, Pratt?
He's a fine actor twink. How soon til the israelites have himbwith BBC?
Hawt!
Josh Brolin was 'ironically' writing love poems for him, he's already taken the Big Brolin wiener lol
Pitt was bigger in the 00s.
The Rock was voted as being the most popular actor among Gen Z'rs so his popularity and fame should not be understated, he is a big celebrity.
I honestly don't know though if celebrities are as big of a deal as they were during that particular generation. Big stars come and go, but only a few really manage to cement themselves as larger then life stars or celebrities.
>The Rock was voted as being the most popular actor among Gen Z'rs so his popularity and fame should not be understated, he is a big celebrity.
Feel like homie hasn't made a movie in like 9 years. Black Adam flopped.
>The Rock was voted as being the most popular actor
>voted
The only "vote" that matters happens at the box office, and that's the bottom line.

>A consulting firm did a study of what Gen Z loves, and when it came to the subject of actors, The Rock was the clear favorite
No doubt, Dwayne is a paradoxical case where he's a massive celebrity and very well liked, he's been in some massive projects, but simultaneously he's box office poison who can't draw an audience based on his name.
If you want to sell shit to zoomers using a guy with an acting resume, it'd be The Rock
There are no legitimate movie stars under 60.
A movie star was somebody like Wayne, McQueen, Hepburn, Brando, hell even Arnie in his own way. Even the Gen X'ers like Pitt and Depp didn't have that type of cultural impact.
There are no stars anymore, just actors who are familiar to people who still care about movies, but none of the younger ones can sell any movie just by their acting in it.
Brando had more impact among actors than GP. He had many flops
I think there are a lot of big female stars. Margot Robbie, Ana De Armas, Scarlett Johansson, Jennifer Lawrence
Bro they were popular like 10 years ago, 20 in the case of Johansson.
>Margarot Robbie isn't extremely popular hollywood star
>Barbie and Harley Quinn
You never go full contrarian anon
I forgot about Barbie completely, ok you're right about her.
He need to make good movies, tho
Its largely Ryan Gosling's moment, but Robert Pattinson is easily the #1 leading man that's under 40. Tom Cruise is still up there as well.
Glenn Powell is nearing that level but hasn't had a huge tentpole flick for himself to entirely star in yet. If the new Bond film is any good Aaron Taylor Johnson has potential to leap frog up there.
Rank underneath them would probably be Chris Pratt, Ryan Reynolds, Christian Bale, Chris Hemswoth, Henry Cavill, Jason Mamoa, and Cillian Murphy.
The twink you posted has no charisma I can only imagine he's so big because of nepotism, I tremendously hate all of his performances with a passion.
The twink is being entrusted with political agendas (promote climate policies, ez acceptance of "collapse" to zoomers). Joaquin was about a year older when he played Commodus in Gladiator than Chalamay in The King (2019). Yet Joaquin never had the industry fawn over him, like GQ's ~"we continue to chart the progress of Chalamay" whether he hits a growth spurt in his work or not. Absolutely strange, and that was after he boosted his profile from Bones & All with the household name of Kylie Jenner, before the 2 WB tentpoles.
I will go to anything with Henry Cavil or Tom Cruise
Matt Damon
THE GOOSE
And I know it's long gone and
That magic's not here no more
And I might be okay but I'm not -- fine at all
Zendaya. Timothee. Anya Taylor Joy. Florence Pugh.
That's it. And they'll be in all your kinos from now on.
There are none because monoculture is dead. Tiktok and instagram "stars" are way bigger than any actors, and most people have never heard of them
wtf
He's spreading dem legs really far apart
no one is. social media has fractured who has spot light and where attention is directed so there will never be another dicaprio, pitt, cruise, etc.
Celebrities started using Twitter and proved they are morons.
i guess, sure.
sigh
I dont think anybody actually gives a shit about this dude or sees movies specifically because he's in them
There are no movie stars under 40
>it's the last real movie star
What will happen to hollywood when the Cruise retires?
