Actress Julianne Moore, reflecting on her role as Jules in the 2010 film 'The Kids Are All Right,' said she doesn't know if she would play a lesbian character today, preferring to see an LGBTQ actor cast instead.

Bening won the Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy and the film won the award in the best motion picture, musical or comedy category."The Kids Are All Right" also received four Academy Award nominations in 2010. Moore was nominated for a Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award and BAFTA award for her performance in the movie.

"I tend to err on the side of, 'It’s make believe,' and it’s of the discretion of the director who’s the most compelling for that job," she told Variety in a recent interview with Moore."While I want to promote gay people representing gay people, trans people, all the rest, queer people — it’s also a commercial prospect."

adamboultonSKY I am not sure that I agree. Any actor should be allowed to portray any character to whom they could do justice.

Didn’t like the movie. I guess a woman should play Tootsie then?

Good for her, part of the solution

How DARE an actor or actress...you know...act...

Acting! It should not only be the casting of actors that are already related to what the role demands... it will also become pretty boring to keep seeing the same actors over and over in every LGBTQ roles...and LGBTQ actors should also act straight person roles too. Acting!

These types of arguments are silly.

How noble of her. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Everyone on the left has gone insane and should be treated as such

Things actors say that are already wealthy for 300 Alex.

adamboultonSKY Will be carefully avoiding anyone who plays a psychopath from now on

adamboultonSKY It’s called acting

Ok every actor should only play himself ... but were are we going? seriously

guess the only part she can take is one of an actress playing an actress? Seems fair

That's Hollywood for ya! Still the same after 100 years

Ok then. Does Jim Parsons need to give his emmys back? I hope not, loved him in Big Bang.

Ok I got it...but her profession allow her to play anyone...is that what actors does...to pretend

🙄

It’s called acting for a reason.

Not a single reply here understands what representation means to minority professionals.

How about just playing an ordinary woman with issues?

Then donate the money you made from your cultural appropriation

Hard hitting news. Did you know America is murdering Yemens on the daily?

I won't be happy until every acting role is filled by an obese non binary leftist minority.

So does that mean she can only play the role of a white American female actress in a movie cos that is all she is?

She wasn’t a porn star but was in Boogie Nights. Would she prefer to see that role played by a real porn star in the future?

Stop

Pander

adamboultonSKY Whatever happened to “acting” the whole point is that they’re playing a part. They don’t have to be personally representative of that part that’s why they’re called “actors”.

People are cast according to their ability to put butts in seats. Casting an unknown simply because of their orientation isn’t going to fly in Hollywood. Just like saying lil nas x could be the next James Bond. Dumb huh? 🙄

I am a liberal and even I think this is ridiculous. why are we requiring people only portray characters that they have something in common with? As long as a actor portrays the character in a dignified way that doesn’t demean that particular group it should be fine.

*eye roll*

And the idiots rise to the bait, yet again.

NBC, relentlessly pushing The Gay Agenda...

adamboultonSKY Does that mean that gay actors can only play gay roles?

Where does this leave acting? Isn’t acting the ability of playing someone you are not? I just can’t see the point of this controversy ...

who?

I'm still upset that NPH was allowed to play a straight man on HIMYM.

Save the guilt. The movie was well acted.

So is she saying she doesn't want to see LGBTQ actors not play straight people?

Its called acting for a reason... Just another entity being destroyed by the LW politicking.

So I take it no gay men or lesbians will ever play heterosexual characters again?

So in Boogie Nights she probably should have let a real porn star play that part. Can’t believe she took that character away from the real deal.

Of course because acting is real

Isnt that what acting is? Does that mean a gay man can't play straight? I'm liberal but this is invented bullshit, we must be more inclusive but what the hell

When actors aren't actors it's a documentary.

Pelosi accuses Trump, Birx of spreading misinformation about coronavirusPelosi said she doesn't have confidence in the White House coronavirus task force coordinator. Well gee neither does 60% of the country. We agree with Pelosi. Dr. Brix had a moment to be brave & stand for the truth but she chose to support a man who traffics in lies & misinformation. The no masks people will continue to kill the economy and take lives too soon. 😷 That's because her opinion isn't coming out her mouth. To me Pelosi no longer has confidence or respect in Birx because she doesn’t publicly correct all the misinformation the President is spreading and she should. I’d regain my confidence in Birx if she’d publicly correct the garbage that comes out of Trumps mouth.
