Josh looks like a perv.
We all know josh is a wrong un
Absolutely disgusting. I wonder what religion they belong to?
Learn how to pronounce "dalliances" before reading the script next time.
Chile it’s a mess!
ooooof just in time for oscars season, strange how news always breaks around awards season hmmmmmmmmmmm. surely this is newsworthy
Even if she wasn't a minor what kind of disgusting behavior is this . Go figure HW promoting and encouraging this behavior and awarding the Directors who could have put a stop to this.
Shabbily researched. Benny was engaged in multiple acting gigs (Oppenheimer, Stars at Noon, etc) and the TV show The Curse before focussing on The Smashing Machine. If you omit info like that then it discredits your whole agenda filled, pre-Oscar, Josh Safdie takedown.
