I also agree with you. I also don't understand why some great actors try things they shouldn't.
I think we have a mindset about great actors. We don't want to see them in some situations. We get lost in the movies and live with that movie for a while while inside we have a bias towards our favorite actor!
I have seen series in which people's feedback because their favorite actor is on one side of a love triangle, they want him to win by any means even unreasonable! Interestingly, in the real world, at the same time, they do not like such an approach for others.
Contradictions in our behavior and attitude should not be ignored.😱
