I’ve seen some accusations, which other (also female) members of cast/crew pretty much disprove. So I will echo others - source?
I’d seen this all multiple places before but doing a quick search here is a source on the most recent round of Netflix and superman stuff
Personally I think a lot of this is overblown. Specifically the not wanting shirtless scenes and stuff is a personal thing that’s up to the comfort of the actor. The bits I don’t like are harassing women and his previous comments about the MeToo movement which make me far more likely to believe the current accusations against him.
You call it overblown and disapprove… But then keep posting the questionable source.
This is how you get bots to pick up links, and how you start rumors.
I think them being upset about an actor being uncomfortable always being sexualized is overblown.
I think the parts about him harassing women are fine.
Ah, yes. The “toxic gamer” accusations. Yeah. To me that reads like he was not happy with how they handled source material and did his best to fight it (which yeah, not his place to do that, but as someone who also loves Witcher I can relate). And then they tried to spin it as being mysoginyst (they tried so hard to spin itin any way so that he ends up looking bad back then). Also source of the article being Reddit doesn’t exactly fill me with confidence.
After these accusations I remember other articles with fellow female cast members at the least saying things about hin as a person that are in complete oposition to the accusations.
Not saying he is a saint, I don’t idolize him. But it’s hard for me to believe those accusations.
Romantic plots and shirtless scenes are also included in both books and games of the Witcher so him being against those is super weird as well. Romantic plots are pretty core to some of the stories
which yeah, not his place to do that, but as someone who also loves Witcher I can relate
Why wouldn’t it be his place to argue for more respect for the source material? or simply a better script?! It is his face in there, instead of an awesome show, we got, well… whatever the hell that was and his face is attached to it forever.
I have no idea about show business but if I sign up to play Dracula and now they tell me the script calls for a Dracula that has no powers and instead is only a genetically diseased person with hardcore anemia, I would probably fight the script as well
Most things I saw of him being a great cast member were earlier in his career and this seems to be a very recent thing to happen. I don’t think he’s always been bad in any respect but people do change overtime and America has been increasingly radicalized recently. I’m not surprised that this has happened and it could happen to anyone.
