The outlet refers to an interview he did to Sunday time in 2021 about the boycott.
“Did I feel a boycott from Hollywood? Well, you wouldn’t have to have a pulse to feel at that point, ‘None of this is happening, it’s just some weird joke or I’ve been sleeping for 35 years,’” she said. “Of course, when they ask you to stop a movie you’re making, because of something that’s nothing more than a bunch of vowels and consonants floating in the air, it feels like a boycott.”
Now, Johnny says he doesn’t feel one at all.
“I don’t feel boycotted by Hollywood because I don’t think about Hollywood,” he added. “I myself don’t have much more need for Hollywood,” he added. “I think it’s a very strange and funny time where everyone wants to be themselves but they can’t, they have to align, conform and if you want to lead this life, I’ll be on the other side.”
Just the day before, Brie Larson, a member of the jury, was asked if she would see the film. She finds out what her response was.
