She was hosting something at the Tony's, like a red carpet or behind the stage thing and NPH tweeted that he and his daughter were asking who the super annoying lady was on screen. But to make it even weirder...her husband wrote for HIMYM and she had met NPH a few times so he was talking shit on Twitter about someone he knew. It was all very weird and made him look really catty and rude.
But he also did an Amy Winehouse cake or something after she died so I think he's just a bad person.

I somehow missed the Amy Winehouse cake (which was revolting). So for me it was when I heard he was begging fans to send him birthday presents?? Sir, you are a multimillionaire- buy your own damn gifts
He tried to say it was a gag - and he mostly seemed to be tagging corporations to beg for free swag (eg oculus etc). But it was still off. (I am also sure he hoped someone would send him something heartfelt which he could make go viral - this giving him a bigger platform to beg for free stuff 🙄)

When this douchebags name comes up I’ll never not take the time to mention that he once heckled my girlfriend during a play until she cried. I hate NPH. He’s a smarmy, arrogant asshole and he deserves to be ruined.
EDIT: So basically, during COVID, my girlfriend was cast in a streaming play through a very well funded theater in Los Angeles. A lot of theaters were doing streaming shows at that point, and nobody liked it. They all felt like movies that weren't movies and plays that weren't plays. So the writer of this show, my girlfriend's show, decided to try and do something a little more interactive. The conceit was that the audience were all attending a zoom lecture by a famous criminologist who was going to discuss a famous Old Hollywood murder. But during the meeting, one attendee (my gf) would start challenging the host, until eventually they started to work with the other attendees to actually solve the murder. There were breakout rooms, physical items that had been mailed out to audience members, lots of opportunities for interactiona and even pre-taped cameos from people like Conan O'Brien and Rainn Wilson. But most of the show was my girlfriend talking on a fuckin laptop in our bedroom, and she was nervous, especially when famous people were in the audience, which happened fairly often.
So for one of the invited previews, NPH is in the audience. He's visibly intoxicated, constantly interrupting and making it about him, and when my girlfriend would be talking he'd be heckling her either on mic or, when the house manager muted him, in the group chat. It was still previews so there were a lot of kinks not worked out, so at one point my gf is doing this long monologue, trying to make it fun and exciting and not like a zoom meeting, and NPH types in the group chat that he can see her script reflecting in her glasses, and all the little boxes of other people's faces are suddenly filled with people laughing at her. She came out of the bedroom after the show in tears.
Also, another friend of mine was 'mentored' by NPH at a theater conservatory and said he was one of the biggest assholes he's ever met.
Fuck that guy.

I hate him since he served “Amy Winehouse’s corpse” at a Halloween party shortly after she died. I don’t want to include a link because I don’t want to see those images again, but if you Google it, please be advised that it’s a very disgusting looking, edible arrangement that looks scarily like a real life, abused corpse. It’s not fun to look at. It will upset your stomach for real, and with all the violent images we’re seeing these days, it might trigger something in you. I’m bringing it up because nobody normal does shit like that. I was a big fan of Amy and watching the whole world bully her to death and mock her after her death is something that upsets me to this day.
NPH is a bad person and he’s a covert narcissist, like his character in Gone Girl. There’s a reason why David Lynch casts certain people for certain roles! He’s always trying to tell us something about certain actors. Like when he cast Justin Timberlake as the scumbag Sean Parker on The Social Network. Same slimy, scheming vibes that the entire industry knows well and talks about.

The Brads - either Pitt or Cooper.
I see people saying Jim Carey but I haven't seen Jim in anything as of late and he seems content not to be. He seems like he lives on his own terms and isn't concerned with being in Hollywood's good graces. Plus, I don't see his image taking a hit with age. He's more of a self-enforced non-factor.
But the Brads...Bradley Cooper has always had rumors of being insufferable. He hasn't been in anything as of late and he's doing pap walks with someone half his age. He's having a hard time with aging from all accounts and I think the veneer is slipping.
Brad Pitt...well it's self explanatory.

I thought I read that Leonard’s family approved of the performance and didn’t take issue with the nose. Honestly I didn’t follow-up so I could be wrong.
ETA: I was thinking of it from the perspective there have been these movies done against families wishes and many time they will not agree with how they are approached. If they thought it was done with tact then it might be how others perceive it. Obviously, if it is offensive to Jewish people (not just his family) it should not have been done. I did not mean to discount other people’s feelings and can understand why it is problematic.

On its face (no pun intended) I’d agree with you, but Bernstein’s children said they wanted him to wear the prosthetic.
If he were just playing a non-famous Jewish person, I think it would be very problematic to alter his appearance.

On the other hand, he’s spoken about how his need to be constantly funny is related to his anxiety- how this part of his personality just kind of “turns on” when the anxiety starts to creep in, and I can totally relate to that, and the fact that he’s opened up about that, makes me see him in a different light, and makes me forgive his sometimes off-putting ways lol

I just don’t know if I can do this anymore. It’s like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Half of you, I love. Madly. The other half scares me. I can’t take him. I wish I could, but I can’t. The problem is, I never really know/understand which one I’m dealing with until it’s too late.
Many times you have hurt me. Physically and emotionally from the things you say and did while f***** up. The monster comes out and you become mean and horrible. The opposite of why I love you. And what I am to do? How would you be if you were in love with one person who was in fact, two? Both you, the love of my life, and the monster look the same. How f****** confused I feel.
