I don't think I could have ever been a famous and well known Hollywood actor, And I'm not just talking about my non-existing acting skills. I'm mostly talking about everything that goes around the filming of the movie, Especially those press junkets we see every time a new blockbuster drops. Now, you may thing that it's just sitting there for a few hours, answering some questions about the movie but you will be wrong. Usually these junkets take entire weeks, and sometimes months of the actor's life, and we are talking LONG hours. They sit there for days and days, answering the same repetitive questions again and again, and they have to be charming and energetic the entire time.

Sure, they get paid the big bucks to do that but all it takes is one moment where you zone out for a couple of seconds while the other actor answers and BAM! - you get the "Sad Ben Affleck" meme and the entire world is making fun of you. That part of the acting career seems horrible to me.
