The "New Acting" Imperils Handsome Men and the Film Industry

Public perceptions of handsome men and movies have taken a hit from which they may never recover -- it seems that handsome film actor Brad Pitt has expressed an opinion with which many disagree:

The 45-year-old actor doesn't believe in God, he told Bild.com.

"No, no, no!," he declared, when asked if he believes in a higher power, or if he was spiritual. "I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it."

How dare he "denigrate religious publics" that way!

It's hard not to suspect these "New Actors" actively cultivate public hostility. Life for handsome men who act for a living just got more difficult, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
