For decades, Hollywood has been defined by its stars. Names like Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Jennifer Lawrence carried films, dominated media coverage, and shaped cultural conversations. The traditional movie star was larger than life—a brand, a personality, a phenomenon that audiences followed religiously. But in 2025, something unprecedented is happening: the influence of the conventional movie star is waning, and a new form of celebrity is taking its place. TikTok personalities, YouTube creators, and social media influencers are now competing for cultural relevance, reshaping the very definition of fame.
