Joseph Fiennes says he rejected a Hollywood career due to bullying tactics by Harvey Weinstein
Weinstein had put pressure on him to sign a five-film deal with Miramax shortly after his roles in the Oscar-winning"Shakespeare in Love," in which Fiennes was cast, and"Elizabeth," in the late 1990s.
Fiennes said the producer made aggressive claims that he would take control of his actor's career, and made it clear that a refusal would have a negative impact on his career."The way he explained it was a shock to me. But I suddenly sat in the room very present, and happy and strong in myself to say, you know what, I'm not beholden to that. I'm stepping away," he added.
