hilsAfter the Tom Cruise water pistol incident I started thinking a lot about 'A-list celebrities'
Who decides who is A-list and who isn't. Stores will close for someone like Tom Cruise but not for someone like Anthony Hopkins. It's not really to do with talent since Hopkins is a much better actor than Cruise. So who decides? These A-list celebs live a life of luxury. Why? Because someone out there decided they were worth paying millions to star in a film. At what point to people move from B-list to A-list? Do they have to make a certain amount in one of their films? Get nominated for an Oscar? I just find the whole process very strange.
Thoughts?
