What drives someone to seek a life without alcohol? Join comedian David Boyle as he humorously unravels the plight of movie stars in today's entertainment industry. In this episode of 'I'm Quitting Alcohol', Boyle paints a vivid picture of the once-revered movie stars now selling products in ads. With his signature blend of wit and sharp commentary, Boyle questions why these Hollywood icons, who once claimed artistic integrity, are now hawking products.
Is it the decline of cinema, or have our attention spans simply moved on to TikTok and beyond? Boyle isn't shy about calling out big names like Samuel L. Jackson and Will Smith, pointing out the irony in their current pursuits. He humorously likens the fall from grace of these stars to the transition from being a 'hot chick' to a 'middle-aged Av'. It's a raw, honest take on fame, relevance, and the fickle nature of public attention.
Boyle's reflections are both entertaining and eye-opening, making you ponder the true cost of celebrity. Are these stars just victims of a changing world, or have they always been 'ad men' at heart? Whatever your take, Boyle's comedic lens offers a refreshing perspective on the intersection of sobriety and stardom.
