Except animal food.

Sorry, German "insider" joke that won't be understood outside.
A large German hardware store chain (now bankrupt) had a long-running ad of "20% off of everything, except animal food". People wondered why animal food was excluded, but it was probably just marketing strategy - make people talk about it. And it did work.

I don't find that strange at all. Hollywood folks are "on" in public, not so much, or not at all, in private. "As a person" means when not "on". I know exactly how that goes.
