In a wave of scandalous sexual trials in Hollywood, journalists are looking for sensations and reviewing old records and interviews. After diligently studying the interview of Keith Harington, the stars of the series "Games of Thrones", they revealed a curious fragment and asked the actor to comment on what was said.
In the spring of 2016, Keith Harington, in an interview with The Sunday Times, talked about sexism, sexual harassment and infringement of his rights:
"Initially, I was hanged in Hollywood label of a cute guy with a good figure. My type is a man capable of causing a desire in most women. When the agent, and then the producer, designated for me an acting niche, I was offended and humiliated. Every time, coming to the casting, I felt the depth of "pressure" on me. Almost always I was asked to undress and evaluate my figure, noting the advantages and disadvantages. "
In an interview last year, Keith admitted that for Hollywood there are double standards and he felt them on himself:
"Girls are offended if a man allows himself the liberty, perseverance in courtship, can call her" baby. " Responding with refusal and indignation to such actions - it can be understood and supported, but what to do if this behavior is directed towards a man, and even an actor? ยป
Against the backdrop of sexual scandals, in an interview with The Guardian, Kit was asked to comment on earlier words about the manifestation of sexism towards him and harassment, as a phenomenon:
"My words about sexism were misunderstood, I meant objectification. At the beginning of my career, I was sure that I was being objectified and this caused an internal protest in me. I did not compare and compare my position with the position of an actress woman - these are absolutely two different things. I'm sorry that my words were not correctly understood. Especially now, when the topic of harassment is discussed and more and more cases of harassment are revealed in the Hollywood milieu, every word and reasoning plays an important role. "
The actor tried to laconically and as clearly as possible to voice his point of view, so that in the future there was no ambiguous interpretation of his words. Whether it turned out or not, it's hard to judge, but some tabloids have already released articles in which they exposed the Hat Harrington in an impartial light. In their opinion, he should not and did not have the right to raise the theme of sexism in the context of his personal history.
