« Jaws » star Richard Dreyfuss caused a stir at a recent film screening for the classic film with comments he made about transgender kids and the #MeToo movement.
« Jaws » star Richard Dreyfuss reportedly upset some fans with political comments he made at an event celebrating the iconic Steven Spielberg film over the weekend.
The Oscar-winning actor was interviewed on stage at the Cabot Theater in Massachusetts about « Jaws » and his acting career before a screening of the classic shark thriller. However, some patrons walked out of the event before the film even started when the actor shared his opinions on gender ideology.
« He said that the parents of trans youth, allowing them to transition, was bad parenting and that someday those kids might change their minds, » attendee Diane Wolf told .
At one point, the crowd shouted at Dreyfus after he said, « It’s not okay because when the kid’s 15, she’s going to say, ‘I’m an octopus,' » according to the Globe.
« I’m queer, I’m nonbinary. This is personal to me, » attendee Sarah Hogg said. « It’s one of those moments where you feel like you’re having an out-of-body experience. It was horrifying. »
The actor also reportedly caused an uproar after making derogatory remarks about Barbra Streisand and the #MeToo movement, as well.
In a video posted to YouTube, the actor can be seen walking onto the stage wearing a dress over his clothes and dancing to a Taylor Swift song. Commenters claiming to be attendees described what happened afterward.
