by

At a Q&A session in London, Zoe Saldaña openly discussed her emotions regarding recent events involving her co-star Karla Sofia Gascón in the movie “Emilia Pérez”. During a conversation with moderator Edith Bowman, she confessed that she was still working through everything and felt sad about the current situation.

It was planned for Gascón to appear at the event together with writer-director Jacques Audiard, as well as musicians Camille and Clément Ducol. Unfortunately, she did not show up after her old tweets with insensitive remarks reappeared online.

Saldaña unequivocally expressed her intolerance for discrimination in all its shapes. She voiced that such behavior deeply saddens her since she doesn’t endorse it, and she has zero patience for any derogatory speech directed at individuals belonging to any particular group.

She openly discussed her personal experiences from the movie production, highlighting that the work environment was welcoming, cooperative, and dedicated to ensuring equality in terms of race, culture, and gender.

The actress lamented that the movie’s significant message is being overshadowed. Instead, she said, “I feel disheartened that we are dealing with this obstacle at present.” Yet, she was appreciative of the audience’s backing of the film, describing its themes as potent and crucial, particularly for underrepresented groups.

Saldaña concluded optimistically, expressing that although the circumstances are challenging, they, along with their cast and team, continue to strive towards conveying a message of affection, esteem, and eagerness. For the moment, that’s all they can share. Thank you.

As a devoted cinephile, I’ve been following the buzz surrounding “Emilia Pérez” quite closely. The debate about Gascón’s past tweets has certainly cast a veil of uncertainty over the movie, but Saldaña’s statements clearly show an eagerness to steer the spotlight back towards the film’s powerful message rather than getting engrossed in the scandal itself.
