Martin Freeman has finally addressed a controversial scene he shared with Jenna Ortega.

He admits that he’s been receiving a lot of feedback and is concerned about how people feel about his character, mistakenly comparing it to his real life.

The discussion revolves around a provocative scene between Freeman and Ortega in the film Miller’s Girl, where the 51-year-old actor shares a moment with a 21-year-old character portrayed by Ortega.

Many viewers found the scene unsettling, expressing that Freeman perhaps should have reconsidered doing it in the first place.

The movie is filled with suspense, and the age gap between the characters has sparked great debate, particularly the intimate scenes between the duo, which some deem the most incongruous part of the film.

The scenes have caused some audience members to avoid watching the film altogether, with worries about the content showcased on screen. One passionate fan remarked, “If that is what the film is about, then I am out!”

Another viewer mentioned, “It’s unsettling,” prompting Freeman to explain that depicting something in a film doesn’t mean it’s being endorsed. He believes that if audiences understood this, they might not be as critical.
