Colin Firth Distances Himself From Woody Allen
Recent reports have revealed that following the accusations made against the critically acclaimed director Woody Allen, actor Colin Firth has joined the list of celebrities who would not want to work with Allen again. Further reports also indicate that actresses Greta Gerwig and Ellen Page are among those who have distanced themselves from Allen.
"I wouldn't work with him again," Firth told The Guardian in an interview that was conducted on the same day that Allen's daughter, Dylan Farrow, sat down for her first televised interview since she revealed that her adoptive father sexually assaulted her when she was a child.
Further reports reveal that Firth is not the only one to publicly mention that he will not participate in any project from Allen. He joins a list of actresses, including Gerwig, Page, Rebecca Hall, and Rachel Brosnahan. Considering that Allen is one of the most critically acclaimed writer and director in Hollywood, many fans claim that this signifies a fundamental change in Hollywood where men would often wield their power however they please. Meanwhile, Farrow has taken to sharing her story more often as she felt empowered by the #MeToo and Time's Up movement and the many other women who have spoken about what specific celebrities have done to them.
