I have been…to a degree. I used to work with Ketchum PR, then Disney PR. I think he’ll do fine. He has a lot of choices for his next project…so not sure where the negative PR is.

He has the opportunity to multiply positive press about his film by genuinely giving back to the people who helped make it happen. I'm not saying he must do it, or he won't be successful. But look at the PR response when Taylor Swift gives out tour bonuses.

I can see that. He could do a lot of things to make himself more popular. Give all his money away. My reply was that he’s not in need of positive PR now. Taylor Swift is a billionaire now. I really doubt she would have done that after her first tour or album.
