Matthew Lillard Reacts to Quentin Tarantino Insulting Him: “It Hurts Your Feelings”

by

Matthew Lillard recently shared that a comment made by Quentin Tarantino bothered him, even though he initially tried to ignore it.

Damian Lillard discussed the issue after Quentin Tarantino mentioned it on a recent podcast. Lillard was speaking to fans at GalaxyCon in Columbus, Ohio, when he brought it up.

At first, the actor played off a comment as a joke, telling the audience that Quentin Tarantino had once said he wasn’t a fan of his acting. The crowd responded strongly, but after things settled down, Lillard confessed that the remark had actually been hurtful.

He admitted it was deeply upsetting, using strong language to express how much it bothered him. He added that such a remark would never be directed towards a well-known actor, making the situation even more difficult to accept.

Lillard mentioned a disconnect between how fans see him and how people in the entertainment industry do. He feels a lot of love and support when he meets fans at events, but doesn’t receive the same respect from those in Hollywood, stating, “I’m very popular in this room. I’m not very popular in Hollywood.” A fan called out their support for him, and he expressed his gratitude.
