1. Actor Sir Ian McKellen says women have used sex to land movie roles, contributing to Hollywood’s harassment culture.

In an unfortunate take on the #MeToo movement, actor Sir Ian McKellen has said women in the past have used sex to land roles and therefore contributed to the Weinstein-esque culture permeating Hollywood today.
Speaking at the Oxford Union, the 78-year-old veteran actor, known for his work in the Lord of The Rings and X-Men films, said women in the 1960s would often offer to have sex with a director in exchange for a part.
"When I was starting acting in the early 60s, the director of the theatre I was working at showed me some photographs he got from women who were wanting jobs," he told the audience.
