Kevin, You kind of Burned him, he obviously omitted "Divergent" to not sound like a jerk, and you plugged it back in… That seems a bit unethical.

Some actors should just keep their mouths shut. They either say something they need to immediately (and utterly unconvincingly) revoke, or they end up saying dumb, arrogant sh*t like \’I look like Elvis\’, and reveal to us all what utter self-involved douchebags they really are. Keep your mouth shut, learn some humility and let your talent do the talking, Teller.

However, he should play Dean Martin – not Elvis…

He didn\’t say "he should play Elvis", he said his dream was to play Elvis. Young Elvis. If his performance in Footloose is any indication of his musical talent, I\’d love to see him play Elvis. Regarding taking a part as a business reason….aren\’t they all in it to make a living? Why should they be criticized for their honesty? Maybe it should be hush because the audience is just naive enough to believe they\’re in it for fun only.

This from the guy who is MR. FANTASTIC in the forthcoming Fantastic Four and sequel!!! Get over yourself mate, just act, enjoy the limelight and make money. A zillion other young actors would kill for your position!!

So did W misquote him or what? I don\’t have a problem with an actor saying he took a role for business reasons and I don\’t think it\’s biting the hand that feeds him, either. They all do it. All of them have taken a part because they needed the money and they weren\’t being offered anything else at the time. Some are just more honest about it than others and I find that refreshing.

Thanks Heather. I\’m always stunned to hear when someone from the audience supports Hollywood and their fraternity system of over paid, lowest common denominator millionaires. (badmouthing?) Sonia, do you have a financial share in some Hollywood stock? Stop sipping their kool aid! Wakeup!

To be fair @Sophia, I didn\’t hear any backpedaling anywhere in there, and although the Elvis bit was a bit overconfident, I agree with him about Divergent and the choice to make watered down movies in Hollywood.

An actor badmouthing a franchise then backpedaling, and then going on some tangent about how obviously he should play Elvis – and f\’n Playlist eats it all right up. You\’re so damn typical.

The funny thing is that his Tweet WAS done for business reasons. I think he\’s probably a tool, and will disappear from even Hollywood\’s shallow consciousness in the next few years. They act like he\’s the Next Big Thing, when I\’ve known of him in exactly TWO movies (only one of which I\’ve seen, and didn\’t care for), and I\’ve never even known his name.

Even if he took the role for business reasons as many actors do, if he took the money and is still in the franchise, stop complaining about the artistic integrity of the project. It is disrespectful.
