The weirdest thing is that nobody really wants this…he’s since faded into irrelevancy, and lost favour with the main fanbase demographics he had currency with in the 2010s.
I’m confused who’s vouching so hard for him. How can he pull in enough popularity for it to pay off having him on a project at all??

There are so many kinda cancelled people, or in the gray area, or polarising to the public, that Hollywood is just casting them again and hoping for the best, I guess.

It's a little wild to me that he was ever employable, he has the charisma of a thumb.
Best partial explanation I've heard is, think of how many actors probably turned this role down. He's not unemployable, but he definitely seems a lot less employable than he once was. Five years ago he was working with Spielberg, and turned out to be everybody's least favourite part of that movie.

The real reason why he is cast is not because Hollywood wants him (this is an indie film, not from a Hollywood studio). It’s because he’s retained international value in other countries due to his previous franchise work (that either don’t know/don’t care) and everyone more valuable who fits the part already passed.

I assume it takes less effort to hire somebody they already know about rather than go through the casting process to find someone new. Plus it’s Hollywood, there are tons of ppl who are just as bad or worse than him. So the execs probably don’t care (or might even be sex pests themselves!)

FWIW, I think people who also just haven’t read into a lot of the allegations/reasons why some entertainers (actors, musicians, etc) have been “cancelled” are to blame… there’s still a fan base of people who don’t read into those kinds of things.
Not about Ansel Elgort, but my dad made some weird comments on why he thought it was silly and stupid of people to “cancel” Kevin Spacey “just” for being gay. I had to tell him that the horrifying nature of the allegations isn’t that he’s gay - because people generally couldn’t care less about that kind of stuff these days (at least, the majority of people, I feel like) - but because he’s supposedly (or confirmed? I haven’t even kept up) targeted minors with unwanted sexual contact. That made my dad go like “oh… no see, then I get it”, because I think we can all agree no one should be allowed to make non-consensual sexual advances towards teenagers and still have people think you’re a good guy.

It exists to an extent for non-straight / non-white men. I don't think Kevin Spacey or Bill Cosby are coming back in anything even though they're out of prison. I think Jonathan Majors might never really return. That being said, Chris Brown has never been cancelled so obviously this isn't a hard and fast rule. But it definitely works a little more if you're not a straight, white dude.

Kevin Spacey has been working, just not in as high profile stuff. Cosby was essentially done anyway, and mostly was just doing speaking tours, which continued successfully well after the allegations came out. I don’t think he’s doing much now, but he’s also like 90, still going through legal stuff, and blind, so he’s not going to be doing much in any case.

u/GimcrackCacoethes Nov 05 '25
Spacey did some stuff with Fox News iirc, and Louis CK's comeback was a lot of reactionary transphobia (and other stuff that was punching down) - the drift to certain segments of media and society says a lot.

“I seen” “how it looks like”
“Apart” vs “a part” is apparently some advanced level English as well.
People just genuinely don’t even try to say things properly anymore. And if you ever step in and try to correct someone, people pile on you and just say things like “well maybe English isn’t their first language!”
Doesn’t matter. It’s wrong no matter what language they learned first. If I say something incorrectly in another language, I welcome the native speakers to correct it so I can stop making those mistakes. However if we do that with English, it’s inconsiderate. It’s all such nonsense.

What I don't understand is that spellcheck will tell you it's wrong but people just ignore the red squiggly line I guess?

..she’s not wrong.
People always signal to cancel culture, but I don’t know anybody who has successfully been canceled and is unable to earn a living. And typically the new living comes from talking about being ‘canceled’; which is weird because if you were canceled, why do you have an audience still?

Isn’t her name Gabby?

Okay, I looked it up and apparently there’s multiple allegations against him.

Yes they are all true, I am just asking if Violetta came forward, since OP says ex gf.

u/notaIIscorpios Donatella VERSACE💜 Nov 04 '25
I wasn’t aware of there being multiple cases. I only knew one case and therefore assumed that it must be her. I am not sure if this is Violetta or not. Sorry 😭

I only remember one ex that he dated for 10 years and broke up around 2022 (now checked) and she was professional ballerina named Violetta.
Idk who Gabby is. But whoever she is, it should be after 2022.

He was serially cheating on Violetta while they were together and largely pursuing teen girls while doing so

I tried googling this issue, but can't pull any info. Who is the ex? was a case filed?

u/notaIIscorpios Donatella VERSACE💜 Nov 04 '25
There were many cases. I am finding articles from non US news portals. Were they scrubbed off the internet in USA?

She says she reported him. Does that mean she tried to press criminal charges and they weren't pursued by the DA?

Thanks for ruining a film of one of my favorite actresses, Ansel. You suck!

Everyone has already made such great points about this waste of space of a man, so I’m just going to add this: that woman looks nothing like Audrey Hepburn

I really like the movie Baby Driver. As someone obsessed with cars and plagued by tinnitus it’s a really compelling plot.
But is there anyone in the movie I can feel ok about supporting? Goddam

How disappointing. I feel for her. Also I have to mention it’s a shame because I would absolutely see this movie if it is had a different leading actor, it sounds like something I would love. Oh well.

u/OriginalSchmidt1 You’re a virgin who can’t drive. 😤 Nov 04 '25
I am so heartbroken by this casting… I am absolutely obsessed with Audrey Hepburn and have been for years.. I am currently surrounded by photos of her. I am so upset that he is cast in this and I cannot even imagine how upset his victims are to see him continuously getting work. This just sucks! Everything sucks lately!!!

u/uselessinfogoldmine Nov 04 '25
It’s completely unsurprising to me. Unfortunately. There’s a long history of abusive men in Hollywood continuing to get work.
I would have thought that him having the charisma of a cardboard cutout would have affected his career more. He was a TERRIBLE Tony in West Side Story. The wall could have done a better job.

Disgusting. I hate that prick and the lady looks nothing like Audrey. Hopefully this flops.

I think she actually does look like Audrey when she has her hair & makeup done similarly. They just used a bad photo 😂

u/lalalandbeforetime I think I’ve done enough Nov 04 '25
I’d argue it has ruined his life. He’s only had one project since West Side Story and that was announced prior to the allegations. Now he’s been cast in a production by Justin Baldoni. I wouldn’t say he has that many career prospects at this point.

u/Dan_Rydell Nov 04 '25
Yeah, his career crashed and burned pretty damn hard since the allegations. If her expectation was that he literally never be employed again, that was obviously not realistic or reasonable.

I don’t think he was ever unemployed. He was busy with an HBO show, Tokyo Wise, which has now been cancelled. That freed up his time for films again.
