Jeremy Irons opened the jury press conference for this year’s Berlinale by distancing himself from his own past remarks
opened the Berlinale jury press conference by turning the spotlight on himself—and disavowing his own past controversial remarks about abortion, women’s rights, and same-sex marriage. The actor, who is serving as president of the jury for the German film festival, was attempting to get ahead of questions that may dog him over the course of the 10-day event.
. “Firstly, I support wholeheartedly the global movement to address the inequality of women’s rights and to protect them from abusive, damaging and disrespectful harassment both at home and in workplace.”, in which Irons said political correctness had “gone too far” and that some women can handle unwanted touches from men. “Most people are robust. If a man puts his hand on a woman’s bottom, any woman worth her salt can deal with it,” he said then. “It’s communication.
“Secondly, I applaud the legislation of same-sex marriage, wherever it has been attained,” Irons told the Berlinale crowd. “I hope that such enlightened legislation will continue to spread into more and more societies.”
