I'm claiming Christopher Walken for us and giving them Ted Cruz
Take one famous person from another generation and give them one of ours
Input, pleaseI agree wholeheartedly. After the slapping incident, I will never watch his movies again. Fuck that guy.
Honestly even before the slapping thing, I didn't like him.
No particular reason why except that I tend to have particular good bullshit radar and his whole vibe hasn't sat well with me for years.
He was fine in his younger years, but everything about him has vibed as a mask for a long while.
I think, don't know for sure, that he's one of the celebs that goes mental and loses touch with reality. They live in their own, do whatever I want world.
Once he had his two kids with Jada he wasn't right.
As for the slap, it's never ok to get physical. At the same time, maybe he was having a bad day, or his wife was. Like a real bad day, we don't know. She's said losing her hair has been really hard on her (not unexpectedly). As an actress, it's her career too.
I wouldn't want to trade him though. Bright, Bad Boys, Men in Black, Independence Day, "I, Robot", and Ali were all good movies. At least I think so. And he's not done yet. Maybe he'll figure it out.
For Poitier you can have the entire Smith family.
“Keep his name out yo fucking mouth” yeah he gotta go.
I thought he was his son
I am my own grandfather. Sometimes it works out that way.
Hmmm… That’s a tough one unless we can still keep the Fresh Prince part.
Nope get rid of will smith and everything he is involved in.
What the hell did Will do that's so bad?
Scientology…or word has it.
Haha white people have no idea that black stars are full of rage, even the “good” acceptably emasculated ones.
We know, though. I never liked him.
I can imagine most Black people aren't too thrilled with income inequality and some racist police. Volunteering in the Louisiana court system taught me what I suspected. There’s a different set of laws for Black and white people.
I'll take Cary Grant and give you a Kardashian
All the Kardasshians... please
That's like swapping out a beautiful filet mignon for a bunch of cans of Spam- and I'd approve of that swap
And their relatives the Jenners! Out of the whole group, Bruce is the only one who ever accomplished anything extraordinary! (And by that, I am referring to his Olympics feats, of course)
I'd upvote this a thousand times, if I could!
I’ll give them every “influencer” for Carrie Fisher.
That's like gifting debt...
Isn’t Carrie ours already?
? She was born in '56. I took OP's question to mean a member of GenX.
Oh wow, I didn’t realize she was born that early!
Isn't she part of ours? A hero, anyway.
Do we have influencers?
I’ll take Betty White (RIP) and throw JLo at them.
Oh yes, I would take Betty over Jennifer "I take myself way too seriously on the red carpet" Lopez all day long.

I'll take Emma Stone and toss Marjorie Taylor Greene at them so hard there'll be a crater where she lands.
If we could get rid of Marjorie Taylor Greene, no need to send anything back.
There has never been a better example of addition by subtraction.
If we trade her with the Puritans, are they like, “wait, is this an actual witch?”

Willie Nelson for Kid Rock
Great one....I'm so ashamed of myself for ever listening to his music and thinking he was cute😔
Naw, don’t be ashamed, we all got duped.
What’s this “we” shit? I’m a proud member of the “I’ve hated kid rock since his first bullshit single I refuse to name out of respect for everyone’s ear worm” club.
I hated him at first, q101 in Chicago played the shit out of it and I couldn’t stand it. But after a few years, I was like oh this guys alright. then, well, you know what happened
Selena Gomez. She just seems down to earth and very cool. Trade Will Smith.
