Is it weird for actors to talk about politics?

Actor Mark Ruffalo hit out at the Irish Green Party this week, weighing in on Irish politics. The actor claimed that the party is ‘about to do something really terrible to the environment’ by accommodating fracking. The Green Party have said it’s a ‘very misleading account’ of what is included in new legislation about liquified natural gas (LNG). How bizarre is something like this, from someone like him? Andrea is joined by Kendra Becker, Editor of Goss.ie and Aimmé Millar, Senior Public Affairs with Carr Communications to discuss.
