For every Keanu, there's several Oprahs (someone who chases success no matter what awfulness it enables), Ellens (sociopaths abusive to their staff but friendly in public), Harveys (people who abuse their gate keeping of a pathway to celebrity to extort those who want to go down that path), and Christians (celebrities whose ego tells them they are superior to others who they work with).
And that's not mentioning the Quentins (abuse actors in their search for perfect shots, assuming the abuse itself isn't the reason), Alecs (producers who run such a lax safety environment that someone ends up dead), OJs (celebrities who literally get away with murder because of worship by law enforcement), Britneys (celebrity abused by those who were supposed to be protecting her at the cost of their mental health or even freedom).
Or the potentially worse kind of all, the Ronalds, or popular celebrities that take a role as the face of a political group so that their celebrity status and what people think they know about them because of their characters to greatly accelerate the consolidation of the economy under the wealthiest and social tools used to control those they deem "lesser".
