quote:

Stage and screen star Sir Ian McKellen has spoken out about the sex scandal in film and theatre,claiming women are partly responsible because some tell directors they'll sleep with them to win roles.

'People must be called out and it's sometimes very difficult for victims to do that,' the Lord Of The Rings star said in a talk at the Oxford Union recently.

'I hope we're going through a period that will help to eradicate it altogether. But from my own experience, when I was starting acting in the early Sixties, the director of the theatre I was working at showed me some photographs he got from women who were wanting jobs. . . some of them had at the bottom of their photograph 'DRR' — directors' rights respected. In other words, if you give me a job, you can have sex with me.

'That was commonplace from people who proposed that they should be a victim. Madness. People have taken advantage of that and encouraged it and it absolutely will not do.'


Giving zero fricks must be so empowering.

Those women were just victims of the culture.

No woman will ever accuse Ian McKellen of inappropriate sexual behavior, so yeah he's able to say what he wants.

Gandalf likes the wand.

I'd pay $100 to hear what Sean Connery has to say about all of this shite.

That would be epic.

Hopefully he hasn't pulled a Kevin Spacey and went after the young wand.

I love it!

Gay men calling out sloots, for taking out the gropers, that got them to put out, for fame and fortune.

The victim industry will eat him up for suggesting it was the wimmenz fault.



PS: And that director was laughing at those suggestive photos from all da wimmenz, because he was probably giving it good to Ian at the time

Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro starred in Apt Pupil directed by Bryan Singer.

Ian’s time is coming.

These actresses are not victims, they are prostitutes. They sold their dignity for a shot at stardom.

It's a virtual lock that no woman will ever accuse him of inappropriate behavior.

No woman will, but I wouldn't be so sure a man won't. I think some super shady stuff went down (sorry) on the set of Apt Pupil. Brian Singer + Gandalf + Brad Renfro, who went into a spiral afterwards resulting in his untimely demise from an overdose. I'd be shocked if there isn't a story there.

I heard Minne Driver call out Matt Damon because he said we need to separate behaviors and can't put people that slap a woman on the behind with those who rape or pedophiles. Driver insisted that they are all the same.
I think attitudes like hers will destroy the validity of real actual cases of sexual abuse and make everyone tone deaf to the cause.

Seriously, how many actresses are there in Hollywood who were gladly and willingly banging everyone in site for parts?

Why aren't they discussed in this?

Brad Renfro (with no acting experience) was “discovered” by an associate of Joel Schumacher ‘s while Renfro was living with his grandparents in Nowhere, USA. Schumacher + Singer + McKellen = Renfro’s accute drug addiction and over a dozen arrests by the time he died in his 20’s.

You can bet your arse there’s a story there.
