I have always thought that productions can't support "divas". I have no real experience with movie making, but I would imagine there is a ton of "waiting for X so Y can do Z". Not in a rude way, but I would imagine lots of people are expecting other people to be on point so they can do their job. In a certain sense I think that's kind of rad because it implies everyone is sort of working toward the common goal of making some movie magic. Being a "diva" may work in wrestling or certain types of live performances, but something like film production is far more structure and doesn't really want spontaneous change or dynamic alterations to the schedule.
While what I'm gonna say is too friendly to capital, it would feel more right for big stars to have to pay everyone else's wages for wasting everyone's time being a diva.
Maybe more reasonably, productions should be less penny pinching in the first place and maybe The Rock Does Christmas doesn't need to exist.

I dig the sentiment for sure. Like you said it's friendly to capital, but the larger idea of "the diva is burning away everyone's time, the rest of cast and crew ought to be compensated and the diva ought to have their behavior corrected" makes sense to me.

On a purely personal level how can you be a "manly man™©®" be so fragrantly disrespectful of other people's time and talents. So many of these macho masculine self-help/guru types talk about being respectful and being a man and shit, and these is just actively un-manly. It's boyish. A boy would have this sort of mindset and behavior, not a man. It lacks honor, it diligence, it lacks consistency, it lacks all of the virtues people like Johnson espouse in their videos and "brand". You can't call yourself a man and be so self-centered.

In wholehearted agreement there.
