Cannes 2025: How Social Media Impacts Hollywood's A-List

Cannes 2025: Social Media's Impact on Actors' Careers. The Cannes Film Festival is always a hotbed of activity, and this year was no different. Brut. journalist Aymeric Goetschy secured an exclusive interview with three stars of the film 'Eddington': Emma Stone, Pedro Pascal, and Austin Butler. The conversation centered around the pervasive influence of social media on their lives and careers. Stone, notably absent from major social media platforms, shared, "I feel extremely lucky that I never started one." This contrasts with Pascal's and Butler's experiences, though all three actors acknowledged the complex relationship between social media and their work. The interview provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities presented by social media in the modern entertainment landscape.
