Pro tip: That actor's apology about the dog incident felt way too scripted

I watched the full 8 minute video from the guy who left his dog in the hot car last summer. Everyone in the comments is saying he seems sincere because he cried, but I noticed he looked at his phone 3 times during the take. Also he used the same 2 catchphrases from his last movie interview. I'm in the minority here but to me it felt like a rehearsed stage performance, not a real admission of guilt. Has anyone else noticed celebs recycling the same lines across different scandals?

Nah, you can fake cry but you can't fake the shame in his eyes.

That guilty look is something you just can't manufacture no matter how hard you try.

I've watched enough people try to talk their way out of things to know the difference between real shame and a practiced apology. If he's checking his phone mid-take, that's a dead giveaway he's more worried about hitting his marks than owning what he did. Next time you see one of these videos, count the pauses where they're obviously waiting for a cue from off-camera.
