After the publication of an interview, Vincent Cassel attracted the wrath of the public because of controversial remarks on masculinity and the vulnerability of men.
A risky position. On February 24, the Franco-British mini-series will be released on Apple TV+ Connection in which Eva Green and Vincent Cassel hold the main roles. It was on this occasion that the latter granted an interview to The Guardian. In it, he discusses several topics about his personal life, but also about his opinions vis-à-vis Brexit, the upcoming series or even masculinity. And on this subject, the 56-year-old actor held words that go wrong.
“It’s almost shameful to be masculine these days, he assured. You have to be more feminine, more vulnerable. But look, if men become too vulnerable and too feminine, I think there’s going to be a problem.” If he did not specify the nature of what he had in mind when he spoke of “issue”, Tina Kunakey’s companion also wanted to partially defend Andrew Tate. The former British-American kickboxer is best known for his masculinist and misogynistic views.

Vincent Cassel and Andrew Tate, defenders of masculinity?
If he recognizes the negative aspects of Andrew Tate’s personality, Vincent Cassel is keen to nuance the criticisms around the 36-year-old sportsman. “In the midst of all this, I think he says things that are actually interesting because he wants to stand up for masculinity”, he said. In addition to his banishments from Twitter, Instagram or even YouTube for “dangerous content”, “incitement to violence” And “hate speech”, Andrew Tate was arrested last December in Romania. He is quoted in an investigation for “rape”, “human trafficking” And “constitution of an organized criminal group”. If he mentioned the way in which he understood part of his speech, Vincent Cassel assured that he hoped don’t be misogynistic. “I am surrounded by women. From morning to evening, because I have three daughters, a wife, an ex-wife, a mother”he recalled.
