The lead actor from the renowned TV series '24' has reportedly been arrested for alleged assault in the United States. Though details about the incident and identities of those involved remain scant, the news has created a flutter in both Japan and Hollywood. The actor, who enjoyed a massive fan base in Japan due to his sterling act in '24', is currently under police custody. This development comes as a surprise as he had maintained a clean public image until now. Further investigations are underway.

In Japan, personal misconduct, especially by public figures, is taken very seriously. This incident could potentially damage the actor's reputation and livelihood, as it violates the social norms and values of respect, dignity, and public responsibility that Japan holds high. Additionally, celebrities involved in misconduct often face severe backlash from fans and the industry itself.

Similarly in the US and EU, personal crimes committed by celebrities attract massive public attention and scrutiny. If found guilty, the star's career may take a big hit, as there are increasing calls in these regions for personal accountability of celebrities, regardless of their professional achievements.
