Per media reports from the U.K. event, Scarlett said that there have been “growing criticisms” around Curtis’ films, specifically about how women and people of color were handled onscreen. Some of the examples mentioned during the conversation were how Jones’s legs being described as being the size of “tree-trunks,” and how 1999’s “Notting Hill” had a predominantly white cast set in a neighborhood that hosted the 1958 Notting Hill Race Riots.
Curtis added, “I remember how shocked I was five years ago when Scarlett said to me, ‘You can never use the word ‘fat’ again. Wow, you were right. In my generation, calling someone chubby .” He said that in “Can you imagine? Here, you’ve made two movies still beloved decades later, and you allow your own daughter to turn you into a squeaking little gerbil over nothing. He’s apologizing for his own art, not because of its message, but because he didn’t practice affirmative action.
And fat jokes will always be funny. In fact, the fact they are frowned upon today makes them funnier. Man, his own daughter is doing this… How sad is that? Why would a child do this to a parent? Well, she got her name in the paper. People can be so awful.
