Richard Dreyfuss stirred controversy during a screening of the film “Jaws” in Beverly, Massachusetts, USA, allegedly making remarks considered offensive.
The event, meant to be a celebration of the classic movie directed by Steven Spielberg, turned into a platform for the 76-year-old actor’s controversial opinions, who has also starred in ‘Close Encounters of the Third Kind’, ‘Stand by Me’, and ‘Red’.
Audiences expressed their disappointment on social media, criticizing Dreyfuss’ conduct and questioning the lack of moderation from the Cabot Theater, where the film was screened.
Following the incident and ensuing criticism, the theater even issued an apology to attendees, acknowledging the concerns and discomfort caused by Dreyfuss’ comments. The statement lamented the event’s deviation into political matters and affirmed a commitment to learning from the experience and promoting values of inclusion and respect.
