Not weird at all. Celebrities are not good people. The fact our society worships celebrities is twisted. Celebrities are not good people.
There's a reason Augustus Caesar literally banned actors from being able to hold a political position and literally banned up to the third generation descendants of actors from holding any political position. Our society once knew actors were degenerates and good quality moral men should have nothing to do with them. We need to remember this.
And notice how today that hasn't changed at all but instead of our culture seeing slaves, prostitutes and actors at the bottom, our culture has inverted things such that we now worship actors, slaves and prostitutes as being at the top. Take Cardi B for example. She's all 3 and she won woman of the year.
In Shakespeare's day, actors were generally viewed by many as one step above beggars and lunatics. The rest viewed them as at least one step lower than beggars and lunatics.

Rome had it right in some respects
In Shakespeare's day, actors were generally viewed by many as one step above beggars and lunatics. The rest viewed them as at least one step lower than beggars and lunatics.
Ave Caesar.
