Needs to do a Daniel Day Lewis and go make shoes for a bit instead? (or whatever DDL is doing)

Probably a good idea for anyone that reaches the level of becoming a “public figure”. Log off, go do something with your hands, and come back in 4-6 months. Might reduce the incidence of formerly respected figures going full crank.
Yes !

Doing something outside of your bubble is great for learning some humility and G-d knows PG could do with some of that.

Once your rich and have made it you can’t emulate hustle mode anymore. Sure you can shine shoes but in the back of your mind you know you don’t have to.
