Despite allegations of abuse against the director: Alec Baldwin wants to interview Woody Allen live on Instagram.
There have been allegations of abuse against filmmaker Woody Allen (86) for many years. Alec Baldwin (64) apparently does not want to be deterred by this. The actor will interview the director live on Instagram on Tuesday.
“I’m obviously someone who has his own beliefs”
Baldwin canceled the interview. In it he holds the cover of Woody Allen’s new book “Zero Gravity” in the camera and repeats the date of the conversation several times: Tuesday, June 28, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time (4:30 p.m. in Germany).
Baldwin does not explain more. In his text accompanying the video, however, the actor makes his attitude towards the allegations clear. “Let me first state that I have NO INTEREST in the prejudice and hypocritical contributions of others here,” he writes. “I’m OBVIOUSLY someone who has my own beliefs and doesn’t give a damn about anyone else’s speculations.” And further: “If you think that a process should be conducted in the form of an HBO documentary, then that is your business”.
“I love you Woody”
With the last sentence, Alec Baldwin alludes to the documentary series “Allen v. Farrow”, which HBO aired in spring 2021. It is about the allegations made by Woody Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan O’Sullivan Farrow (36). She and her mother, actress Mia Farrow (77), accuse the director of sexually abusing Dylan as a child.
Alec Baldwin and Woody Allen have worked together several times, most recently on 2013’s Blue Jasmine. Allen was also a guest at Baldwin’s wedding to Hilaria Thomas, 38, in 2012. The two men are considered friends. Baldwin was one of the few celebs to publicly side with Allen in recent years. “I love you, Woody,” Baldwin says in the video.
