Whoopi Goldberg responds to Matt Damon controversy: Sexuality has ‘nothing to do’ with acting ability
Oscar-winner Whoopi Goldberg on Tuesday (29 September) responded to Matt Damon’s comments about gay actors on The View.
The controversy began when he told the Guardian that ‘people shouldn’t know anything about [an actor’s] sexuality because that’s one of the mysteries that you should be able to play.’
The chat show host had this to say:
‘I played a gay woman in Color Purple, a man in The Associate and we’re actors.
‘We’re supposed to be able to play everything and play it convincingly. So I don’t think whether you know or think or believe I’m gay has anything to do with what my abilities are.
‘As an actor, that’s how I feel.’
Goldberg also dismissed the notion that actors should to keep an air of ‘mystique’ about them.
‘You can have your privacy but you’re outed,’ she said.
‘People tell your business whether you tell your business or not’ she said.
