Emilio Estevez has hit out at overly-critical journalists after making the mistake of searching his own name on the internet. The star was amazed at how nasty some write-ups of his performances are, but still continued seeking out bad reviews.

Estevez says, "It's a cruel world out there. I've been at the unpleasant end of that poisoned pen. When journalists think that actors don't read what is written about them, they are mistaken. I would put my name in a Google site and see what came up and often it was very hurtful.

"Hollywood is guilty of turning out s**t. I've turned it out myself, but what the journalists don't do is take a moment to think that maybe this actor has got a family and he has got to feed them."
