Gabino Diego is one of the most popular actors in the Spanish film industry. But despite his long career in the world of the seventh art, the performer has given a lot to talk about in recent hours due to his recent statements about the CIS survey that claimed that ”40% of men believe that they have reached so far in the equality of women that now they feel discriminated against.
The controversy has arisen as a result of the interview that the Spanish actor gave to the newspaper El Mundo this past Tuesday. In it, the interpreter confessed to being in favor of that 40% of men. ”Yes, totally. I wanted to give way to a girl on the bus, she got angry and told me: “No, you go in.” “They are very strange things,” he declared.
The journalist also took advantage of the interview to ask the actor about the recent news that three women had accused film director Carlos Vermut of sexual violence. ”I’m not very aware,” the interpreter said at first. But after learning about the matter, he added the following: ”It seems very bad to me that there is abuse for being a director. It is important that it be reported.”
However, the actor’s words have caused a lot of commotion on social networks, since many have wanted to speak out against his statements, but many others have taken a stand in favor of the interpreter of The Hour of the Brave.
”What a trauma she must have been left with tremendous offence”, ”Gabino Diego cancelled”, ”Feminism is not that a random man gives way to us on the bus, let’s see if we find out (totally normal that the girl would get mad)”, ”We should hear her version”, ”Now I understand why she no longer appears in any movie, some users pointed out.
In contrast, many others have wanted to show their full support for the actor, claiming to have experienced very similar situations. ”This happened to me once and he answered me with all the arrogance in the world: no, no, don’t worry,” ”When education is confused with machismo, these things happen,” were some of the comments.
