Comedian and actress Muriel Robin gave a huge rant in the show “Quelle époque!” from France 2, denouncing the homophobia which she believes reigns in the world of cinema.
A true cry from the heart. This Saturday, on the set of the show “What a time!” from France 2, the comedian and actress Muriel Robin gave a very big rant, castigating the homophobia which, according to her, reigns in the world of the seventh art and which has not allowed her to have a great career on the big screen.
“I am the only actress in the world to say she is homosexual, to have said it”declares Muriel Robin, who cites the examples of Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart to argue her points.
“Jodie Foster kept silent for 30 years, she hid. Besides, the day she came out, she said “Too bad now if my films no longer come out in 3000 theaters, but I will to be able to live my love out in the open.”
“Kristen Stewartshe is first with a very well-known man, Robert Pattinson“continues the 68-year-old Frenchwoman. “She has the heterosexual stamp, so her homosexuality is a little sexy, a little rock, ‘she might not stay there, she’s still straight’… And after that, we went around.”
“I know the French gay actors. They keep quiet”declares Muriel Robin who believes that “Otherwise, we’ll never put a woman in their arms again.” “Name me, in the world, an actor or actress who has a great career when he is homosexual. There are none,” says the actress, who will star, on October 2, in the TF1 TV film Les Yeux Grands Fertés.
“If you are homosexual, you are not desirable. You cannot be penetrated”continues Muriel Robin with very strong words. “When you are not penetrated in this society, and in cinema, you are worthless. If you are old, you are no longer penetrated. If you are ugly, you are no longer penetrated. If you are not penetrated, you are no longer penetrated. is not penetrable, we are worthless.”
“I cried my eyes out every day. I’m fine, it’s over, it’s classified. But why do I tell myself that I have to talk about it?”she then asks herself.
“Because we have to tell young homosexual actors and actresses aged 13, 14, 15, 17 years old… The producers, directors and directors have to tell them that there’s no point in them doing this job, they won’t make films. I don’t want them to experience what I experienced.”
“For those who arrive, who are homosexual, let us tell them, that they do not leave thirty years there”concludes Muriel Robin, referring to the three decades during which she regrets having only played in two comedies.
