I dont think there is a difference between the two groups, no. My mind, when i see a celebrity endorsing a product, puts them clearly into the role of someone selling their product for money. Does some model have more business selling cocacola than larry david selling ftx? Larry david is a pretty wealthy guy, i wouldnt be surprised if hes done his due dilligence on finance and talks to advisors on the matter regularly. While a model might not actually know the health implications of drinking coke, and may not drink it personally.
- ryanklee 3y agoI'm very confused by the juxtaposition of your top-level comment and this one. They seem to be saying exactly opposite things.
- ndriscoll 3y agoThey both seem to be saying the same thing to me. It's an actor in a commercial; they're acting. They're not giving you friendly advice. Now one can argue that it should be illegal for anyone to advertise for a product or be paid to say nice things about it (like the smiling guy wearing a lab coat while the screen says 4/5 dentists recommend whichever toothpaste), but otherwise I don't see why celebrities should be uniquely liable.
- ecshafer 3y agoLarry David isn't giving me financial advice. Larry David is selling his image / voice / comedic talents / acting abilities to FTX. Just like a model or singer or athlete is just selling their image to coke. It makes no sense to go after them
