John Malkovich was shocked by Weinstein's 23-year sentence and admitted he never thought such a powerful figure would be imprisoned.
Here's how Harvey Weinstein is really doing in prison
John Malkovich was shocked when Harvey Weinstein was finally sentenced to prison. The once immovable Hollywood powerhouse, a figure long associated with abuse and unchecked power, seemed almost immune to accountability. Malkovich's reaction highlights how unlikely Weinstein's conviction once seemed, even with the overwhelming evidence and the powerful momentum of the #MeToo movement.
The shock waves of the scandal were deeply felt, and Malkovich's candid reflection on the situation underscores the gravity and impact of this turning point in Hollywood history.
In 2019, John Malkovich made a striking return to the stage after 30 years with Bitter Wheat, a play inspired by the Harvey Weinstein scandal. The play, which carried the provocative tagline "Hollywood is Hell," chronicled the fall of Barney Fein, a character strikingly similar to Weinstein. Furthermore, Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet wrote and directed the project.
