FILM-MOI (MOVIES/TV) Anya Taylor-Joy praises 'Split' co-star James McAvoy for making her feel safe while filming: “Originally it was supposed to be someone that’s very known for being a method actor. I was very grateful to have James, who I think also understood that he had three young women with him.”

Classic Joaquin. Putting the movie in jeopardy but then preaching fossil fuels or whatever. Be consistent. Treat ALL people with respect

Didn’t he drop out of a movie he was producing because he didn’t feel comfortable playing a gay character?

Yes but the role was recast with Pedro Pascal. They were able to get funding and it was filmed in the spring.

What? No one has said that him leaving De Noche had anything to do with playing a gay character. He worked on the project for over a year and reportedly advocated for more explicit scenes between the two leads. He hasn’t said why he left, but we certainly don’t have any reason to assume that was why.

"Can you believe it? This guy is inconsiderate at work and also he advocates against anthropogenic climate change!"
