The absence of Clooney, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston and other ‘megastars’ from the SAG-AFTRA picket lines has sparked questions in Hollywood.
NEW YORK, NEW YORK – JULY 25: Protesters carry signs as SAG-AFTRA members hold “Rock The City For A Fair Contract” rally in Times Square on July 25, 2023 in New York City. Members of SAG-AFTRA, Hollywood’s largest union which represents actors and other media professionals, have joined striking WGA workers in the first joint walkout against the studios since 1960.
But Variety reported that there’s been a notable absence of “mega-stars,” who presumably have the most “star power.” In addition to Clooney, Pitt, DiCaprio and Affleck, other stars in this category include Denzel Washington, Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts. One picketer told Variety that such stars have “deep influence” with the global media, with cameras following “them everywhere.”
“It’s not necessarily to our advantage for the people who are the most successful, wealthy and visible to be taking up space right now,” one SAG-AFTRA member. “We already have a perception problem where people say, ‘These are just a bunch of rich actors.’ Those stars don’t work for scale pay; they don’t need the protection of a better contract. If Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston show up, they look like they’re crying poor.
