He had a foundation for helping people with addiction issues. By all accounts he was very committed and proud and it helped a lot of people but you continue making generalisations and insensitive suggestions.

Celebrities and rich people are crapitalistic garbage. No? 😒

How exactly do you expect actors to make movies and TV shows and not become famous? Every show and movie has new people, most of them who can't act?

Your thinking is so interesting that I need to learn the way you think. Please answer this if you don't mind: If someone who are good at what they are doing are garbage, how do you define those that are not good at what they are doing?

As non crapitalistic monsters, just good old human beings

For me that's just envy. You define people based on what you don't get.
