5. No, it did not fly over my head. Ever hear the phrase "...and words will never hurt me?"

People are always going to use their "status" to put forth their point of view. Why are you shocked that an actor has done this? Brangelina do it all the time; as do Johnny Depp and George Clooney and you-name-em. They pretend to be other people in movies, so the tabloid media automatically think this gives them license to pontificate on other matters, and they take note of what they say, and they publish it. It has been ever thus, since the dawn of cinema.

Are you telling me that if you were a famous actor, you'd stay silent on all matters of interest to you? You'd never "opine" as Dildo Really liked to say?

I'm sure if you had a podium from which to spout, you'd spout too. And some people would pay attention to what you say, and some would ignore you. Some would agree with you, some wouldn't, and some would not give a particular shit about your opinion.

You truly don't have to take my counsel, you know. Why, I wonder, do you care so much about the views of others? Why are you feeling personally threatened by what others say?

Be secure in your own thoughts, and these things will cease to distress you.
