Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Beverly Hill Cop: Axel F is a brand new movie and is a sequel to previous BHC movies.

That being said, I agree with you. Nothing about this article indicates that he was being humorous. If this were a video interview, there would be context. So if he was being a goof with a print interviewer, then that interviewer should have described him as such:

"He wasn't a fan of ordinary life. 'No one told me they loved me and I had to wait in line for coffee...it sucked!', he quipped tongue-in-cheek about the experience."

Something like that. Not indicating the attempt at humor just makes him sound like an asshole.

Plus, articles like this get run by a star's publicist before they are printed. I am surprised Kevin Bacon's PR person didn't pick up on this.
