Do young people care about him?

Young audiences make or break a movie. Is he still a star to people who didn't grow up with his 90s movies?

It's so sad that young audiences will only watch movies from right now. There are hundreds, probably even thousands, of treasures going back not only to the 1990s, but to the 1920s and before. Oh well, their loss.

Those who trully love film will not discriminate. Because once your taste gets refined enough, you only want the best. And when you realize that there simply isn't enough new movies worth watching to satisfy your needs, you look for older ones.

That's how it was for us as kids, but I didn't watch the classics until I was older.

If young people are anything like the kids in the Youtube comment section, then 90s movies and music are deemed "cooler" than newer ones in today's school environment.

Who gives a rat's ass? There are more people in the US than besides over-entitled youth.

Yet somehow Hollywood is catering too much to the woke youth.

As much as they care about any 52 year old actor, I’d imagine.
