Rebecca Hall, an actress who has collaborated with Woody Allen, once critical of the filmmaker, has changed her stance.

In an interview with The Observer published on Sunday, Hall reflected on her apology from 2018 regarding her work with Allen, who faced allegations of sexual abuse from his adopted daughter, Dylan Farrow, in 2014.

“I usually avoid making public statements. My way of engaging politically is through my work. I’m not an ‘actor-vist,'” Hall explained. “I somewhat regret that statement because it isn’t the duty of actors to address that situation.”

She first worked with Allen in the 2008 film “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” which featured stars like Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, and Scarlett Johansson. In January 2018, as the #MeToo movement gained momentum, she expressed regret over her association with Allen in an Instagram post that has since been deleted, during the making of Allen’s 2019 film “A Rainy Day in New York.”

“I regret that choice and wouldn’t make the same one now,” Hall stated, having co-starred in “A Rainy Day” with Timothée Chalamet and Elle Fanning. Additionally, she announced her decision to donate her payment from the film to the sexual harassment advocacy group, Time’s Up.

“I remember being on set, filming a scene with Jude Law, where my line was, ‘You’ve got to stop sleeping with these (expletive) 15-year-olds,'” Hall shared. “That day, the news broke about Harvey Weinstein, and there were journalists and paparazzi present, all eavesdropping on me saying this.”

Rebecca Hall explains why she no longer feels regret for working with Woody Allen

Hall described how she felt emotionally overwhelmed in 2018 amid the intense media focus on Allen and Harvey Weinstein, the latter being convicted of multiple charges of sexual misconduct.

“At that time, it seemed crucial to support the women coming forward. … I wanted to take a stand,” Hall said regarding her Instagram apology. “However, it ended up being just ‘another person distancing themselves from Woody Allen,’ which was not exactly what I intended.”

“I don’t regret collaborating with him. He provided me with a wonderful job opportunity, and he was generous to me,” Hall added. “We no longer communicate, but I feel we shouldn’t be the arbiters of justice in this situation.”

Looking back at how she might respond differently now, Hall asserted that she would choose to remain more reserved.

“I wouldn’t make a statement – my approach now is to be an artist. I prefer not to publicly express my thoughts too often,” Hall commented. “This doesn’t mean I’m indifferent or disengaged; I just believe it’s part of my role as an artist.”
