“I’ve done a lot of press recently, and a lot of people want to talk about Ukraine. But when I bring up Iran, no one wants to talk about that.Advertisement 3“I’m fiercely protective of women. To me it is my great fight. I use my job to try to celebrate women, but also celebrate women as human beings. Which means, yes, I can play characters that are flawed and do terrible things sometimes.
Chastain has tweeted in support of demonstrators for women’s rights in the nation in the wake of the tragedy: “I stand with the women of Iran and will amplify their voices from afar. When one woman is attacked, it is an attack on us all.”
Toronto Sun is a tabloid now for... uh who cares...
Only speak if you can improve on silence. FAIL... , WOWZERS!
Stick to making movies Jessica Chastain.
One contributes one takes and complains.... pretty easy decision for me
What industries does Iran have besides oil and gas? Likewise, how many industries does Ukraine have? If she can’t answer those questions, she should shut her piehole.
Iran is also white, they are the Arians which a certain infamous leader considered superior.
I mean have you seen the groups that run in Ukraine… no wonder it’s mostly white..
What a silly cow 😂
You lost me at 'Jessica Chastain says'. You can insert any other rich celebrity entertainer who claims to speak for the people instead of her name and the reaction is the same. Why would I care and what the hell do you know about anything?
Ukraine was invaded
I really wish celebrities would stop thinking they're smart. Sucks that she's in interstellar. My favorite movie ruined for life.
They are not 'white' ppl they are literally 4th generation decendant practicing real life neo nazis. spell it like it is, don;t beat around the bush. The woke have been deeply and madly in love with supporting nazis!
Why she didn't mentioned anything about Ukaraine that are full of scams and those trillion money 💵
Me too jess. I too tweet and do interviews to spew support for all women.
No no no stop talking
She is actually right. Just look at the acceptance of them as refugees over the alt right reaction to Afghani refugees…even the ones who served our troops LOL!
Public talk has no shelf life or power.
I thought it was because it’s the bigger scam?
Who cares what she has to say ? Another celebrity woke liberal
It's kind of apples and oranges. Iran is an internal struggle. Ukraine is an invasion by an external force.
Oh boy.
Funny part is it's the white liberals, the same ones who tell everyone else they are racist, who are constantly talking about Ukraine and not Iran 😂
Imagine talking about the culture that's most relevant to your roots. How racist...
Personally I wouldn’t want to talk to her period. What would someone making obscene amounts of money to portray someone else (deceive) in a movie have to contribute to the welfare of the world? Certainly not the cure for cancer? Or the solution for fusion?
Those damn “white” privileged people in Ukraine… Simply outrageous. Too many while people in the world.
Agreed
The absolute meaning of a racist comment.
Who?
Muslim country, Muslim problems.
A law should be passed that prohibits celebrities from speaking about current events. When I go to the circus I want to watch the circus monkey dance. Dance monkey dance. Otherwise shut up.
Or just care about family members and relatives as large number of Canadians come from Ukraine
