ACTOR CALLS DENZEL WASHINGTON ‘CRUEL’

THE FACTS
Bronson Pinchot described his experiences working with Denzel Washington in a recent interview.
THE SPIN
Bronson Pinchot, known for his roles as Balki on the sitcom Perfect Strangers and work with Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop movies, has spoken out against one of America’s most beloved actors.
Pinchot gave a lengthy interview to the AV Club in which he discussed his experiences working with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
On working with Denzel Washington in Courage Under Fire, Pinchot said:
“Denzel Washington was behind the incredibly cowardly bullshit of “This is my character, not me.” He was really abusive to me and everybody on that movie, and his official explanation was that his character didn’t like me, but it was a dreadful experience. I spent my salary on time with my shrink just for helping me get through it… The script supervisor on that movie said it’s like watching somebody kick a puppy. He was so vile.”
He also branded Tom Cruise as “homophobic” (insert snarky comment here) and Bette Midler as a “b-tch.”
How many of you are currently thinking, “You know, I hated Perfect Strangers anyway?”
