The actor Jose Sacristan has regretted the known cases of sexual violence committed by Carlos Vermouth, But he has been categorical in stating that it is “stupid, monumentally foolish” to sacrifice his work as a filmmaker for a personal mistake. On the red carpet of the 38th Goya Awards, which are being held this year in Valladolid, the veteran actor assured that Vermut behaved “formidably” with him during the filming of ‘Magical Girl’ (2014).
“I continue to be grateful to him for the opportunity to do ‘Magical Girl’, which I think is a fantastic film,” said the actor, who was nominated for the Goya for best supporting actor for his work in the film, starring Bárbara Lennie.
Sacristán wanted to defend the work of Vermut – accused by three women of sexual violence – above what happens to him on a personal level. “It seems to me a mistake sacrificing the work of someone who has made a mistake, that he pays for it personally, but that professionally he does not have to suffer the consequences. It seems to me a stupidity, a foolishness monumental”, he stated. And, he added, “if that has really happened, he should logically receive the reprimand or punishment he deserves.” “But I insist that it should not transcend in any case the work of the person who commits a crime, in any way,” he stated emphatically.
About Vox and its criticism of the sector, Sacristán has joked to indicate that “first things come first.” “I have other things to do. But come on, in any case, don’t pay attention. There is no need to take this for granted“, the actor concluded.
