In a recent interview with The New York Times, Daniel Craig expressed his admiration for Chappell Roan, especially in the way Roan speaks about toxicity in the online world.

“I really admire his courage to say those things, fame can ‘kill’ you. It’s really a terrible thing, and you have to really fight against all the temptations that arise because it’s so easy to fall into it,” Craig said, while noting that he can understand Roan's experiences.

The star of Knives Out also highlighted how social media exacerbates the challenges of balancing art and fame. According to Craig, building and maintaining a "brand" now heavily depends on how often someone appears on social media. “You have to play the social media game, and I can’t do that. In fact, I often regret the emails I send,” he revealed.

Craig acknowledged that this pressure affects not only personal life but also how someone navigates their profession in the entertainment world. For Craig, keeping a distance from social media is one way to stay focused on art and avoid the alluring yet dangerous traps of fame.

Earlier this year, Chappell Roan came into the spotlight after firmly condemning the inappropriate behavior of her fans through a social media post. In two TikTok videos, the Pink Pony Club singer emphasized that actions such as harassment, bullying, and stalking, even if they may be considered normal towards famous people, are still unacceptable.

“It doesn’t make it right. It doesn’t make it normal. It doesn’t mean I want it, or I like it,” Roan stated loudly.

Support for Roan also came from several famous figures, including Daniel Craig and Miley Cyrus. Craig praised Roan's courage, while Cyrus, in her interview with Harper’s Bazaar, expressed her concerns. “I hope people don’t make it hard for her,” said Cyrus. “Entering the entertainment world in the age of phones and Instagram must be very tough.”
