Dear Hollywood,
There's other (and more talented) actors out there than Dwayne Johnson. Stop plugging him into every role until he learns how to play something other than "big muscles, bald guy". https://t.co/vov37pmcKr

@Disney don’t you dare re-cast @TheRock as The Genie in Aladdin 2. No offense to that man. But Will Smith is the Genie. He slapped a man. It is not a big deal and we are all tired of hearing about it.
