Actor Ethan Hawke predicts massive movements in music and live theatre will rebel against what he calls Hollywood's controlling, greedy power players.

Actor Ethan Hawke has predicted major rebellions in music and live theatre against Hollywood's controlling power players. In a new GQ interview, he criticised what he called 'greedy bastards' who think they control every aspect of the entertainment industry, saying people would eventually 'wake up and punch back'.

Hawke expressed frustration with the financial structure of Hollywood, arguing that the projects actors care about most often come with the smallest paychecks. 'There's a direct correlation. I find that the more you love a project, the less you get paid,' he said. 'If you want to beat the algorithm, it's very difficult to do that and be paid.'

The Oscar-nominated actor has previously criticised the entertainment industry. Last year he called celebrity a 'poison' for a young actor's brain during an appearance on 'The Joe Rogan Experience', where he reflected on the psychological effects of becoming famous at a young age.
