You don't understand how the entertainment business works.

Actors don't get or pay bills, their agent or manager does.

That's part of the justification for taking their 10%: you don't have to worry about anything, anymore. If they were young when they started, it was always like this, and they never learned such basic skills.

Do you think when someone famous drops their phone in a toilet they go stand in line at the Apple store with the normies?

No.

I wonder how many know how to write a check.

More than once I've heard a celebrity explain to an interviewer, "I don't know where the bills go."

When I was making big bank, my accountant suggested I give him check writing ability to make it smoother for me to pay bills.

He was later arrested for fraud.

Amazing.
