Yeah, but celebrities are citizens and perfectly allowed to run for representation like anyone else. And what's the difference between a celebrity being hired to endorse a product, and a celebrity chosing to publicly express their own views? In both cases, it's someone using someone's fame to spread a message.
Aside from which, public officials and power-brokers become "celebrities" themselves. Aka Donald Trump, the Clintons, Giuliani, etc. so the lines blurr.
If you're getting distracted by the actor (losing the character) when you're watching a film, they've failed as an actor, and if enough people experienced this failure and don't like it, then market pressures would ultimately mean they lose work.
