I was watching a video on Willem Dafoe on his iconic roles, and his passion to craft and life, and positivity, exudes from him immensely. In that video, I am surprised he remembers from which of his movies the lines came from. It made me love him more as an actor because he loves life and his job.

But then during the interview, I remembered too when I watched Kevin Spacey’s interview before, admiring him and it turned out he is a creep. I was telling to myself about Willem Dafoe “please don’t be a creep, please don’t be a creep.”

Willem seems like a genuinely nice guy though but I hope I don’t get proven wrong!

Edit: clarified the title

    John Cena claimed Taiwan was a country, then had to make an apology video - in Chinese - for referring to Taiwan as an independent nation. I hope he was just forced to say that under contract, but it’s kind of shitty he had to apologize to China. I’d respect him more if he stuck to his guns and stood up for Taiwan.

      Not to be apologetic for John Cena, but it is technically correct that Taiwan is not an independent nation. I’m not going into too much details but I think the broader implication for not supporting Taiwan at any capacity is that Mainland Communist China’s dominance in Asia will get more credence, and signaling that the world will not support a democracy to sustain their way of life.
