I remember when Jerry Seinfeld used to have that attitude. The bit was along the lines of "people ask me what I think about these topics. I'm a comedian. Who cares what I think? I don't care what I think about this."
celebrity / fame is weird. none of us knows any of these people, but we know their faces and voices so there is a bizarre familiarity which is completely one way.
like I saw an obscure actor once and all I knew was I recognized them, but couldn't place them. [I later realized they played the antagonist in the Rodney Dangerfield movie, Ladybugs. ] but the brain sensation of "I know them" is overriding.
as someone who looks like a shitload of other people (I am very generic to my type and kind), I sometimes get approached by strangers who recognize me as someone else. it's a weird feeling when people think they know you and you don't know them at all.
I kinda get why celebs can end up distant, if not reclusive and only tend to see each other, socially.
This is pretty funny considering he has a biopic movie where he plays a Nazi SS officer who traveled to Tibet and linked up with the monks and tutored the dalai lama. Libs still cite this movie/book as very important and true and valuable historically.
