The Take | The Actor-prenuer: Being an Actor is Different in 2023 @thetake | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Dive into the world of the “actor-preneur” and unpack what’s really driving this trend, and why so many celebrities are following suit. It seems like nearly every actor nowadays is expanding their brand far beyond just appearing on screen. From Gwyneth Paltrow's nutty Goop empire to Margot Robbie starting a production company to pump out films that wouldn’t have been made otherwise to Ryan Reynolds becoming incredibly wealthy by hawking… well, a little bit of everything, it seems stars are finding new ways to take control of their careers and financial futures. But given how constantly inundated we are with advertisements, many of these ventures can start to just feel like cynical cash grabs.
