Jordan Peterson is harshly responding to Olivia Wilde’s comments about basing one of her recent characters from ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ upon him.
The bizarre thriller was recently seen being given a standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival. And now, it’s all set to make its way to the box office soon this month.
It features the characters Jack and Alice, played by Harry Styles and Florence Pugh take a center stage in a brand new community where they are led by another very creepy yet charming man named Frank, played by actor Chris Pine.
Suddenly, things take a wild turn when Alice starts to wonder if something wrong is taking place with her husband and his mysterious company, all thanks to one terrifying character.
Shockingly, that terrifying character is stated to be based on real-life celeb Jordan Peterson.
While speaking for a recent interview, we saw the director mention how the character was literally based on one insane man and that’s when she boldly revealed that it had to do with Jordan Peterson. Clearly, not many saw that one coming, Peterson too.
But that’s not all. The real controversy began when a special reference had been made to white men that feel they have every right or authority in the world to have s*x from women. “These men believe society has robbed them- the idea of feminism is working against nature, and we must be put back into place”- she continued.
As you can probably imagine, that did not go down too well with Peterson. Not only did he not like the comments, he felt they were very unkind. But he did feel a little flattered to see the casting of actor Chris Pine.
Speaking to the National Post recently, he also mentioned how Chris Pine has a reputation for being a very attractive man, so it could be worse, he explained.
He also indirectly called many people in the industry bullies and bores that are dominating Hollywood and hoped Pine would do justice to the role.
