The thoughts of a politician running for office ARE in the public interest because that person is campaigning to be elected to be a decision maker in the country.

Video of people having sex may be something the public is interested in, but it is not in the public interest. It's none of the public's business and the public should find more interesting things to be interested in.

Hogan has considered running for office multiple times, including saying he wants to be Trump's running mate[1]. Why should we distinguish between a powerful, famous businessman and actor and a politician? Anyone powerful and famous should be a public figure on the same footing.

And how does video of Hogan nailing someone let you know how he would perform as a public official?

Many people believe that violating your marriage vows is an indicator that you wouldn't be a trustworthy public official.
