Ernie Hudson Deletes Tweet, Does 180 on Female Ghostbusters Opinion, Totally Available For Interviews and/or Jobs Now
Really? REALLY? Really.
The actor gave this statement to The Hollywood Reporter in regards to the casting of four women as Ghostbusters: “Four fiercely funny, foxy, females busting ghosts… phenomenal!” Only, that’s the exact opposite of his opinion of women being Ghostbusters if you recall.
Back in October of last year, Hudson told The Telegraph, “If it has nothing to do with the other two movies, and it’s all female, then why are you calling it Ghostbusters? I love females. I hope that if they go that way at least they’ll be funny, and if they’re not funny at least hopefully it’ll be sexy. I love the idea of including women, I think that’s great. But all-female I think would be a bad idea. I don’t think the fans want to see that.”
Well at least he thinks they’re funny AND sexy.
I mean, look, we saw both negative and positive reactions yesterday but Hudson’s words were pretty clear on the topic. He thought an all-female cast was a bad idea. Because of reasons.
But before making his “phenomenal” opinion known today, Hudson tweeted this when the news broke:
Which made it onto several news outlets before he deleted it from his feed. It’s still visible via Topsy, however.
Dan Aykroyd is still delighted, in case you were wondering.
