The revolt is against the protection from AI and pay parity. While the conversation on the latter has been rampant, the former is a latest threat looming over almost every creative individual. After the writers went on a strike and have been at it since a couple of months, the actors’ union joined them as even their demands weren’t met. Turns out many supported, and some remain silent. Amid this, a banner reading, “Where The F*ck Is Ben Affleck,” is making rounds.

The buzz intensified when the cast of Christopher Nolan’s Magnum Opus Oppenheimer chose to abandon the London Premiere of the movie after only attending the red carpet to join the strike.

But while many have shown their support, the majority of the Hollywood A-Listers are yet to take any stand forget to choose a side. Amid all of this, the protestors have now started questioning the absence, and a banner reading “Where The F*ck Is Ben Affleck” is making rounds. Read on to know everything you should know about the interesting update of the day.
