‘Please walk away from Harry Potter’: why the stars of HBO’s new TV show are in for decades of social media hell
‘Please walk away from Harry Potter’: why the stars of HBO’s new TV show are in for decades of social media hell
The internet is already exploding about Katherine Parkinson, John Lithgow and Paapa Essiedu signing up to the new Hogwarts adventures – and it hasn’t even started filming
You're viewing a single thread.
John Lithgow reacted to the open letter mentioned in this article, sent to him by "a very good friend who is the mother of a trans child" by saying "Why is this a factor at all?" and expressing sympathy for the transphobic bigot.
So it's unfortunate that he probably wouldn't know what a social media is if it slammed him right in the asshole - which is the entirety of him - because he certainly sounds deserving of decades of hell. Especially from his now hopefully former "very good friend."
“I thought, 'Why is this a factor at all?' I wonder how J.K. Rowling has absorbed it. I suppose at a certain point I’ll meet her, and I’m curious to talk to her," he said.
"Decades in hell" for being a clueless, out of touch old man? Jesus Christ you people are unhinged. You fucking act like he's personally bankrolling her anti-trans crusade.
Hopefully he dies early in production. How's that for winding down?
I wonder if he'd be ok with others wishing he would die. Or is it only acceptable when he's playing a character or working for bigots? In any case I'm sure he finds it all very exciting.
