Although he did not identify the person in question by first and last name, he described him as “very prominent” in the business. “I lost my management agency because I went to a hotel room – which I can’t believe they sent me to – of a very prominent, Oscar-winning director, who showed up in a robe, asked me to take off my clothes and he said he needed to take Polaroid pictures of me,” the 43-year-old actor claimed.
“If he had done X, Y and Z, he told me, he would have been the next Marvel character,” he said in his indictment.

I think our society is less prepared to hear that this situation happens to men than to women, ”he continued.
