In Japan, the casting of celebrities in roles that differ greatly from their public persona often attracts significant public and media attention. Interest arises due to curiosity about how the performer will cope with the role, as well as a fascination with the juxtaposition between celebrity life and the character portrayal.
In the US or EU, this casting choice would be viewed similarly-- audiences enjoy witnessing well-known figures tackling diverse and unexpected roles, often providing a fresh perspective on their acting abilities. The anticipation and eventual reception of their performance, however, may also be influenced by a celebrity's public image and previous roles.
