Kinda surprised Leto would turn down an awful role

It's a misleading headline, should say "Hollywood A-listers and Jared Leto...."

Or the Dwayne turning down a paycheck
Zombie@feddit.uk · 22 pts · 59d
There's enough evidence that Trump doesn't pay his bills to question whether that paycheck would actually materialise

There's always Nicolas Cage.

Guy is already working on his own Epstein part two, he knows better than to be seen with the lips that sank the last ship.

"White House cage fight event". We live in strange times...

"Now I know everyone's shit is emotional right now."

No, accept the invite. Then just don't show.
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 59d
Not worth it. Trump will brag and name drop the guest list, like he always does.
Then the non-cult public will shit on the celebs. Then when they don’t show, people will think they really wanted to go, but chickened out.

I imagine that for celebrities like that an "invite" is probably an appearance contract, and there's probably penalties for not attending.

You mean people aren’t clamoring to be part of one of the least classy social events to be thrown at the White House?

Any association with Trump and MAGA should be a career killer. They can't force us to consume MAGA entertainers, make their careers die.

Johnson, Leto and Sandler were the A list? I'd hate to see that b list.

Put Trump in the ring. People will pay to see that

Too skeezy for Jared Leto.
Lol

How is this relevant to politics? This is celeb gossip at best. Sean Strickland the US middle weight champ was also banned from the event for constantly calling trump a pedo and being very anti Isreal and very antisemitic (real). This event is going to be humiliation for the UFC.

It's literally on the white house front lawn.

Its been announced months ago. This doesn't add anything new except a few celebs turned it down. There is no political relevance to be had about The Rock, Leto and Sandler turning down a UFC invite. You're welcome to think its a high quality political thread but I just think it sucks.
Kushan@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 59d
I disagree, it's relevant because it's more indication that Trump is losing his sway. A year ago half of those names would have attended, by snubbing Trump there's a message there.
Yes, I too wish that celebrities had nothing to do with politics but given the president himself is a reality TV star, that's the world we live in.

Hes polling at rock bottom but it's still a sold out event

This is the dumbest shit ever

It going to make 100's of millions. Just wait and see
