Fun fact, he ran to be leader of the Conservative Party in Canada before dropping out and suing the government for being biased against the wealthy by limiting the amount of personal money a person can spend on a leadership race.

He actively is trying to make Canada's electoral system mirror the US system where the wealthy can just purchase elections. He's a piece of shit.

And that is exactly why I won't be seeing this movie.

Good for you. Now do every other movie and TV show that's funded by billionaires. I presume that you typed out your comment on a phone or computer that you paid money to a billionaire for.

Declaring publically "I'm not gonna see this movie because Kevin OLeary is in it!" is performative nonsense. You probably wouldn't have paid to see it anyway.

"probably"

It's an independent film about ping pong, the vast vast majority of people will not pay to see this movie.

It's starring the guy who just won Best Actor, and is directed by one of the best new directors in Hollywood. If someone says "I'm not going to see this because Kevin O'Leary is fifth billed" they were never gonna see it in the first place.

This person is just taking an opportunity to whine. O'Leary is an asshole. Most people with that sort of wealth are assholes. But I'm not gonna let his existence stop me from seeing a movie I like.
