Should I ask Mads Mikkelsen his support for JK Rowling?

[peak2021]

Mads Mikkelsen is doing a Q+A at the Rotterdam Film Festival tomorrow (Weds) at 4. He is in the next Fantastic Beasts film.

Should I ask him for his support for JK Rowling?

Ofcourse you should

I would so love him to be GC.

He will be a great replacement and I fancy the pants off him.

So yes OP, you absolutely should!

I'm not sure. I wonder whether it doesn't accept the TRA's premise that there is a question to answer about if it's OK to work with JK Rowling? Should an actor really be expected to have an opinion about a complex issue in another country?

I'd like to bet that Mads has been fully prepped

You're question will be vetted out.

The people who run these things are not stupid

Please dont ask him, just in case he turns out to be anti womens rights. I dont want the fantasy ruined

It's bound to come up at some time or other if he's on a junket, isn't it? Fingers crossed he'll handle it with a bit of class if nothing else yup fancy the pants off him too

No Q+A after all, the talk had to be pre-recorded. As filming for the Fantastic Beasts film is still continuing, with daily Covid 19 tests.

Why don't we all look at this for now ...

I also think all this calling people out/forcing them to take a stand/you're with us or against us nonsense is how TRAs operate and how we end up with toiletry companies having to 'take a stand' rather than just focusing on making their soap smell like it was produced by a bunch of toddlers with no noses.

Or this ... I love a fit bloke who rocks a cardi

He's a beautiful man!

He still terrifies me - I've seen him in lots of not completely terrifying roles but his Hannibal Lecter was just too good. I've never been so terrified of watching someone who exudes polite intellect & aloof arrogance while being an absolute psychotic killer. Still gives me chills thinking about it.

You should be able to watch the talk via this link below, for a week.

Why on earth would you want to do that? ask him a question about acting/films instead. He is not here to validate or not your personal views on something totally unrelated.

Prepare to be disappointed if you do. Even if he is GC he has too much to loose as the woke/left have the industry stitched up.

In the mean time here is a little bit of good news.
Sen Rand Paul attacking Biden's girls sports lunacy resulting in the usual dancing on the head of a pin to try to have it both ways and not say the words that the majority of the population would see as ridiculous.

Exactly, he's an actor. Unless he decides to willingly join the debate himself then I don't think it's fair to try and demand an answer from him on an issue which is so contentious. Especially in his industry. I'm gender critical but if I was asked outright at work for my stance, as someone working in a 'woke' organisations, I'd be very cautious in my response.

By all means, ask politicians, challenge organisations. We shouldn't try to publically drag indvidiuals into this debate, that's what the TRAs do.

That's a fair point. I think after all the bollocks that kicked off with JKR last year those talentless little ungrateful shots stabbing her in the back to stag relevant his association with the film full stop I'm taking as a good sign.

Quite @tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz. Seeking moral guidance or affirmation from actors is not the way to go, the focus should be on the people who influence and make the law of the land. And questioning organisations when they align themselves with a particular ideology that has nothing to do with their product. Actors should focus on acting, Oat milk companies should focus on milk made from oats.

Can we go back to the pictures of Mads please? It’s been a long term and they’re much appreciated.

Follow the link and see not just pictures but hear his voice!

I had the absolute filthiest dream about him/Hannibal Lector back in the day. Still give me the shivers remembering it.

Sorry, what were we talking about?
