> The biggest movies are worth hundreds of millions of dollars and are filmed at locations all over the world. Evidence of illegal activity (ie drug use/possession) could seriously impede a celeb's ability or willingness to travel.
What? Has an anonymously leaked video of drug use ever prevented someone from entering another country? I've traveled a fair amount and gone through immigration in a number of different countries. Not once did any immigration official ever search the internet to see if there were any videos of me doing drugs. That is not a thing that happens.
> And good luck being signed to any such production if you have a past history of drug use.
Again. What? What are you talking about? If celebrities with a history of drug use never worked again, there would be no celebrities. Practically every celebrity has used drugs at one time or another.
The box office cares? Robert Downey Jr. was famous mostly for using drugs when he did Iron Man and went on to become one of the biggest stars in Hollywood after that.

Celebs with past drug issues are subject to a variety of monitoring, from casual to formal. But one does not hire someone who has current undisclosed issues, the type of thing a video might reveal. So the celeb will want to keep the evidence under wraps. Many contracts have specific "no drugs" clauses. Evidence of drug use during such contracts is not good and really can impact future work.
- imgabe 6y agoNobody is under legal investigation because of an anonymously leaked video of drug use. That is not considered credible evidence anywhere. Many celebrities intentionally release videos of themselves doing drugs, with no consequences. For some, much of their celebrity is based around doing drugs (e.g. Snoop Dogg and marijuana)
