* The three leads of ''Film/{{Babylon|2022}}'' all have traits that mirror the actors they're played by:
** Manny is a newcomer to Hollywood with dreams of making it in the movies, much like Diego Calva, a completely unknown Mexican actor in his first major Hollywood production (he was so unknown, in fact, that Creator/DamienChazelle had to lobby for him to studio executives who wanted to cast a more well-known actor for the part).
** Nellie is an aspiring actress who has a sudden rise to fame after she lands a supporting role that proves to be her breakout and launches her into stardom, which is not unlike Creator/MargotRobbie's StarMakingRole in ''Film/TheWolfOfWallStreet''[[note]]In America, at least, as she was well-known for her role in ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' in her native Australia[[/note]]. Robbie has, however, had a much more permanent position on the A-list compared to Nellie.
** Jack is an aging movie star on a career decline who feels like he's losing relevance in a rapidly-changing industry. Creator/BradPitt has expressed similar concerns and has talked numerous times about considering retirement so he won't be similarly phased out; one can imagine Elinor's climactic monologue to Jack about how he'll be immortalized on film to be directed at Pitt just as much as his character.

* ''Film/{{Fan}}'': Aryan Khanna ''is'' Creator/ShahRukhKhan, to the point that the montage at the start of the film showing Aryan's rise to stardom uses several unaltered and barely-altered clips of SRK's own early films, awards, and interviews. This ties in deeply with the themes of the film, which explores the nature and perils of Bollywood celebrity with his IdenticalStranger and LoonyFan Gaurav.
