I don't know about you, but I also get grumpy and irritated about annoying tasks that I have to do. I do them and I do them well, but I sometimes complain to others about them even while I'm doing them. For something in entertainment, I wouldn't be surprised if vinegar sometimes gets more eyes on it than honey. I think people should be polite, but I don't think they should have to pretend they're enjoying something if they don't want to.

Would you make an effort to NOT do this legit complaining in front of a camera crew while filming an interview you know will be broadcast on international platforms? Would you try not to do this legit complaining in front of people you KNEW had to do even more annoying tasks than you do, for far less money? I think that's the point OP is trying to make, not that complaining at all is verboten.

You're not wrong, but also, I don't think most people's brains really work this way. I feel like we're kind of hardwired to take for granted what we have (like a fat paycheck), while the urge to avoid things we don't like/enjoy remains pretty much just as strong, even when rationally we should be clicking our heels at our privilege.

To be clear, I say this as someone who makes minimum wage.

I don't really blame you for finding it annoying when rich people complain about the parts of their jobs they dislike most. But I guess I just kind of see it as a natural human impulse. A short-sighted, self-involved impulse, sure, but if I had their job I might not be any different.

You know that most of the actors don't get millions of dollars, right?

The ones who have to do hundreds of interviews as part of promotion for one movie are getting millions. Usually hundreds of millions.

It's far fewer than most people think. I'm actually shocked at how little money some performers in big movies and popular television shows receive after all their expenses are paid.

And I don't think the grumpy 'Big Star' interviewee is as prevalent as that, either. Most stars are pretty good about doing their rounds. Only the older ones, who understandably get tired quicker than some twenty-five-old or thirty-something, seem to be irritated or openly express how "over it" they are after a while.

And at the end of the day, they are still people who aren't required to act superhumanly pleasant, professional, or "Excited to be here, Katy!" over and over again perfectly. People don't work that way. We all have our limits. That's why there's so much drama in so many workplaces that pay so little.

Lol no. Star of a relatively popular show, especially unknown actor does fuckaton of interviews too. They don't get paid millions. And as other anon said usually it's older actors who are getting grunchy. Fuck, I understand them, there is not enough money in the world for me to pretend this much for years and years and years

I was with you until you said: People with regular jobs have to put up with shitty stuff too, without a fat paycheck for their pains.

If you're annoyed hearing celebrities complain about promotional shit, I hear that. And I agree to an extent - assuming they signed up for that and knew exactly what they were signing up for. Do your damn job and complain in private to your therapist and all that.

But it has nothing to do with people who have regular jobs. It's not directed at them, and won't have any effect on them or the paychecks they receive.

Should celebs be considerate of folks who don't get paid as handsomely? Well, I guess? It'd be nice. But that isn't the problem here.
