It really bums me out to see how many people pretend to be Sam’s fans but seemingly hate him. The criticism is endless and makes him sound like he’s the worst. What do you think is the best evidence that Sam is actually a decent guy (one who does make mistakes, like anyone; I’m not under any delusions that he’s 100% perfect), not the sleazebag, womanizing, sex addicted, alcoholic, greedy pr*ck that these haters seem so convinced he is? Thanks!
He is definitely not a sleazy, sex addicted alcoholic prick. Anyone with a shred of emotional intelligence would be able to discern that. Unfortunately his PR have done him absolutely NO FAVOURS in constructing a phony image of him. In his recent interview he spoke about struggling with how he comes across and just needing to allow himself to be in the moment . He obviously feels that being himself is not enough for his image which is sad because I think if he could just be himself he would find greater success.
Not one person in the industry has had a bad word to say about Sam. Infact he has only ever recieved excessive compliments on what a decent man he is. I think that pretty much tells the tale. Tobias has always maintained that Sam is a stand up man and so did the director of Bloodshot. Graham spoke of how protective Sam is of his family. Does that sound like a wanker to you?
My personal belief is that he is a good person who has been clawed and gnashed at by greedy fingers in the industry and he has compromised himself in the process unfortunately. A married man and a father that has essentially been gagged and he has accepted those terms for almost a decade. It’s unfathomable and so damn stressful.
