[@stevencassidy6982]

Emma and Robbie have a very healthy skepticism of LA

[@mavfan1]

Steven Cassidy interesting though that it comes from a couple of Brits. Criticize a very small amount of people that make up Hollywood for judging based on the superficial while the entirety of British citizenry has a history of judging one another based on their class system.

[@stevencassidy6982]

mavfan1 Its easy to be snobby about LA...

[@kirstywaters6854]

As these days the class system means relatively little in England compared to that of LA, then it's an entirely fair scepticism isn't it? If they were talking 100 years ago then you may have some vague point... But we are not, so you don't.

[@Necrostrike]

The class system is alive and well in England. Look at your elite universities and who attends them. Same case in the US, the wealthy have entrenched institutional advantages that give them a leg up from the day they're born. You'd be mad to think that a child of two PhD's or doctors isn't massively advantaged on average over children with average middle class parents who did little or no college. Same applies to families of established actors and musicians, it's just easier to break into industry when you have contacts.

[@MS-he3wz]

@@Necrostrike I'm sorry but this is the false equivalence to end them all. They were specifically asked about LA and their opinion of it as members of the entertainment industry who frequent the Hollywood circles. Should they have lied and said it was great all because what? The Brits don't have an egalitarian society? They weren't even talking about the US in general (which they'd still be free to criticize regardless of the situation of their own country). This weird strand of patriotism whereas no one who wasn't born and raised in an arbitrarily defined bit of land is allowed to say anything about the peculiarities of another bit of land will always baffle me. Of course, everything you said is true. But bringing it up here, where it is entirely irrelevant, is unnecessary and oddly defensive. Are you the mayor of LA or something?

[@jolaajtak7861]

Everytime I see an interview with Emma Thompson I love her a bit more. She is just such a beautiful smart talented confident and real woman. Not many actors would dare to call out LA and its way of life.

[@footballinvestorsclub]

As a brit who has travelled all my life, Los Angeles was the one place i went and felt almost immediately self conscious. Literally within a couple of days of being there i felt everyone was trying to live up to something superfical and to stay in the environment you would need to adapt to it and become the same. Very weird, kind of plastic feeling to it. I met some great people but they seem to be in some artificial bubble.

[@angelagriffin5130]

Totally 100% agree. LA is toxic to your emotional wellbeing...

[@malovina]

Why?

[@universalsoulhealing]

It is only toxic if you haven’t dealt with your issues. Past a certain point in life you simply don’t care what others think of you. Celebrities are not generally a good measure of the human condition, and so if you look up to them, you are more than likely going to fall into the hell of toxicity that their culture perpetrates.

[@MrRamazanLale2]

We all know the reason why but nobody dares to say it

[@robpayne2918]

this is definitely the moment that Jimmy decided to get a hair transplant

[@Hunter-lf9jn]

I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@d4rthknight322]

I've been living in L.A. for 18 years now and I agree that this is a weird place. Overcrowded with too many sensitive people looking to become famous. It's not for everyone that's for sure. It took me a while to sort of learn how to deal with people here because anyone can get offended over the smallest thing very quickly. It's almost like walking on ice in a way, you just have to be careful with people.

[@britvica]

[@justgranny9601]

I lived in L.A. for 2 years. Everyone I met was so plastic, surgically sculpted faces with implants EVERYWHERE! They are so beautifully assembled yet if you get closer you can smell the desperation of constantly having to get plastic surgeries to look younger and more attractive. Do not make friends with these sharks, unless you are very skilled at gaslighting people and carry extra daggers for multiple back stabbings. Definitely not my type of people. I was ecstatic when my work transfer finally came through.

[@gerardmackay8909]

Emma has spoken before about the rigid hierarchy in place in US film/TV productions. Cast and crew (particularly junior crew) never intermingle. I did film and tv background work in London in the late 90s and this was really evident on the set of ‘Friends’ when they filmed Ross and Emily’s wedding. Most of the cast were egotistical horrors with utter and highly visible contempt for the ‘underlings’ (not I hasten to add Elliot Gould and screen wife who were charm personified). In Hollywood money and fame and beauty (plastic or otherwise) is the holy trinity and Emma absolutely nailed exactly how it is so toxic and damaging

[@nviscalling5752]

I feel like in the UK, they tend not to take themselves so seriously. I mean, most brits are really self-deprecating compared to Americans. Also, British actors come from a line of theatre acting. They make their start there and then make their way onto film most times, so I think it also stems from that. Hollywood is all about face, not so much about talent.

[@glgl1472]

I was born and raised in LA and I live there for 60 years my father worked in the entertainment industry and it's true what they say luckily I didn't have the looks I didn't have the talent and so I never measured up never tried and it was very easy when you don't have to make the grade but I can see how people could go crazy trying to live that down because you can't or if you do you can't for very long it's just the way it is I don't live there anymore..... look at my avatar nothing like la

I grew up in LA too. May father also worked for the entertainment industry. While there are a lot of plastic people, I feel like there are also a lot of normal nice people. I don’t know why everyone makes it seems like it’s such a superficial place. Having lived in other countries here and there, I do appreciate LA more now because it’s so culturally diverse and we have a lot of access to many things that some other areas might not have.
