The #MeToo movement has changed Hollywood forever, andCasey Affleckcounts himself amongst those affected.
“I mean, look, if you haven’t learned anything from all of this, then you really haven’t been paying attention, and that goes for everybody,” AfflecktoldVarietyat the premiere in New York City. “It’s probably a conversation that deserves a little more time than standing on a red carpet. But I would say that one of the most important lessons is to try to remain as open as you can to other perspectives and to listen to other peoples experiences and, you know, take care of one another.”
The actor apologized for “in a way that was really unprofessional” and admitted the “environment” on theI’m Still Hereset was “unprofessional.”
Addressing the lawsuits brought against him, Affleck said he wished he’d found a way to “resolve things in a different way.”
“I had never had any complaints like that made about me before in my life, and it was really embarrassing,” he added. “I didn’t know how to handle it, and I didn’t agree with everything, the way I was being described, and the things that were said about me, but I wanted to try to make it right, so we made it right in the way that was asked at the time.”
