Your support makes all the difference.Alec Baldwin has criticised the decision of several actors to express their regret over working with Woody Allen.
Attention has turned to the writer-director as the #MeToo movement has gained momentum in Hollywood with some shedding light on the accusations made against Allen - who denied them all - by adoptive daughter Dylan Farrow which date back to 1992.
While Baldwin, who worked with the director on To Rome With Love (2010) and Blue Jasmine (2010), stated the decision of Call Me By Your Name star Timothée Chalamet, Lady Bird director Greta Gerwig and British actor Rebecca Hall to condemn Allen had “some purpose,” he went on to describe the move as “unfair and sad.”
Baldwin ascertained that working with Allen was “one of the privileges of [his] career.”
Allen's daughter Dylan Farrow accused him of sexually molesting her when she was just 7-years-old.
Gerwig co-starred with Baldwin in To Rome With Love while Hall and Chalamet - the latter of whom donated his entire fee to the TimesUp fund - both star in the forthcoming comedy A Rainy Day in New York.
