Ethan Hawke doesn't hold back about the powerful forces he believes control the entertainment industry.

During a new interview with GQ, the Oscar-nominated actor took aim at wealthy powerhouses, blasting "greedy b------s" who think they control every aspect of Hollywood and predicting a major revolt against the industry.

"I believe in rebellion. And I think people are going to wake up and fist bump and there's going to be huge movements in music and huge movements in live theater and huge movements of people coming together," Hawke said.

"So don't worry, money and greedy people----who think they control everything, always lose in the end," he continued. And they all eventually go to the grave. They think they are winning, but they are losing because their lives are worthless."

Hawke also expressed frustration with the financial pressures that shape Hollywood, arguing that the projects actors care about often come with the lowest pay.

"There's a direct correlation that I find that the more you love a project, the less you get paid," he said. "If you want to beat the algorithm, it's very difficult to do that and get paid."

This is not the first time that Hawke has spoken about the problems of Hollywood.

Robert Downey Jr. calls modern celebrity culture "absolute horseshit."

Last year, the actor called celebrity "poison" for a young actor's brain.

During an appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience," Hawke spoke candidly about his start in Hollywood as a young man and reflected on the psychological impact of being famous at a young age.

"I think celebrity is like a little drop of mercury. Or it's poison. It's poison to your brain," the actor said. "Being a professional actor at a young age is dangerous in very insidious ways that are very, very hard to understand when it's happening," Huck says.

Rogan compared the experience of being famous as a child to concrete. He clarified: If the concrete is made incorrectly and with the wrong amount of water or cement, it is finished. Rogan added that once it dries, there is no way to repair or fix it.

Hawke said: "That analogy works for all aspects of life. Really. If something really traumatic happens in your childhood, it's very hard to recover. It's a lot of work to recover. And I agree with you, like I think celebrity is like a drop of mercury. Or it's a poison. It's a poison to your brain."

Hawk expressed the same sentiment during his interview with GQ.

"I'm not the first person to say that there is an aspect of celebrity that is like a disease," he said. "And you can tolerate a little bit of it, but too much of it—we can see what happened to Elvis and we can see Michael Jackson. It's kind of isolating. It's like being in a zoo, and the zoo animals go crazy. The humans, too."

"And it feels kind of isolating because people give you money and tell you you're great, but nobody's being real with you," he continued. And it drives people crazy. And they start scratching, trying to find real life. And sometimes people do it with drugs, some people do it with gambling or fighting or whatever way people do.

Last year, fellow actress Dakota Johnson hit out at Hollywood and called the industry an absolute "mess."

During an appearance on Hot Ones, Johnson was asked why Hollywood is risk-averse.

"I think it's hard when creative decisions are made by a committee, and it's hard when creative decisions are made by people who don't even really watch the movies or know anything about them," Johnson told host Sean Evans.

Raised in the business as the daughter of actors Melanie Griffiths and Don Johnson, Johnson is no stranger to the inner workings of Hollywood.

The Fifty Shades of Gray actor's comments come as studios continue to churn out sequels and remakes, and original storytelling has often fallen by the wayside.

"When something goes well...studios want to keep it going, so they remake it," he claimed, the same things. But humans do not want this. They want to feel new things, experience new things, see new things."

"So I don't know, I guess it's all a bit messed up right now, isn't it?" he added.
