“The Studio” star Seth Rogen says negative reviews can have a real impact on an actor’s mental health.
Out doing interviews for “The Invite,” Rogen made headlines the other day for his comments about Sylvester Stallone’s career. Now he’s doing again, this time for a whole different reason.
Appearing on The Diary of a CEO podcast, Rogen says professional criticism has taken an emotional toll on his mental health and reviews can be far more damaging to one’s mind than most realise:
“I’m at the point in my career where not a lot of people are in a position to yell at me in my job, but the New York Times will publish an entire article saying I suck at my job. That’s the trade off.
I worked my way up to not having to deal with that much personal conflict, face-to-face conflict, but I will have a cultural institution tell everyone that I suck. That will add self-doubt, things like that.
If most critics knew how much it hurt the people that made the things they are writing about, they would second-guess the way they write these things. It’s devastating.”
Rogen has been on the receiving end of some harsh criticism for certain projects he’s been in, though the comments do ring strange in the wake of the harsh criticism of Stallone’s filmography, where he said the actor only made “four good movies”.
