Kevin Costner recently stirred up controversy with his comments during an interview regarding the possibility of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, making a return to acting in the future.
Meghan Markle's life underwent a significant transformation after announcing her engagement to Prince Harry. The Duchess of Sussex had to bid farewell to her lifelong dream of being an actress. While many fans miss her presence on screen, Markle has not ruled out the prospect of returning to acting. In fact, she expressed her longing for being in front of the cameras during one of her official visits to Oceania.
However, not everyone is supportive of the idea of Meghan Markle resuming her acting career. Actor Kevin Costner, for instance, voiced his reservations on the "Lorraine" program, making remarks that carried s---st undertones. Costner suggested that the Duchess should refrain from returning to her profession after marrying into the royal family, drawing a parallel to Prince Harry's mother, Lady Diana.
Costner remarked, "It would be difficult... Why? You have to put yourself in Harry's shoes, and he seems like a great guy. That's why I'm not married to an actress, I don't want to see my wife kissing someone. I'm on Harry's side."
The actor's comments quickly sparked criticism on social media, with numerous users expressing their disapproval of his views. Some called him a hypocrite, questioning his own on-screen romantic scenes, while others emphasized that the decision to leave acting should be Meghan's prerogative. Comments on Twitter ranged from disbelief in the apparent double standard to questioning the actor's stance on an actress's profession.
The controversy highlights the ongoing scrutiny and differing opinions surrounding Meghan Markle's choices and aspirations, shedding light on broader discussions about gender roles and expectations within the entertainment industry.
