Would love to know one single example of the gatekeeping you mentioned. Because there isn’t any. Is this the reaction you were hoping for? Calling some of the kindest & nicest people I’ve ever met “pretentious and entitled” is frankly diabolical. What a shame.

We Michael Sheen fans if we can please take care to be extra vigilant across social media platforms for a potential increase in Michael impersonators over the coming days/weeks with the onset of his doc. Sad but likely will be the case.
