Hollywood type folk are constantly trying to put themselves over as "down to earth" types. They may not outright say they are the working class heroes, but they imply and work on coming off like they are regular, middle america types. They may not come out and say exactly what you are talking about, but I think quite a bit of them believe they are closer to middle america and it couldn't be further from the truth.
Almost all wealthy people in America try to do this. Reverse snobbery is big here in the states. See Bush, George W.
