First of all, this woke shit is idiotic.
Second of all, notice he says “Latino” and not “Cuban,” which puts him, born in Columbia, in the running for the part.
What a dipshit.
John Leguizamo has slammed the decision to cast American actor James Franco as the Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro in an upcoming film.
It was revealed earlier this week that Franco, 44, will be playing Castro in the indie project Alina of Cuba, and Lequizamo, 62, took to his Instagram on Friday to speak out over the casting choice.
‘How is this still going on? How is Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well?’ Leguizamo began in his rant, that received almost 10,000 likes.
‘No more appropriation Hollywood and streamers! Boycott! This F’d up! Plus seriously difficult story to tell without aggrandizement which would b wrong!’
Adding: ‘I don’t got a prob with Franco but he ain’t Latino!’
The View co-host Ana Navarro then commented under the post, telling Leguizamo that she would ‘join’ him in boycotting the film.
Navarro wrote: ‘I’d like to think no Latino actor worth their salt would sign up to play and aggrandize a murderous dictator who terrorized the people of Cuba for six decades. For both reasons you articulated, I join you in the boycott.’
I have no respect for either of them. Franco is a sexual predator.
Anna Navarro is an idiot. She claims that ‘I’d like to think no Latino actor worth their salt would sign up to play and aggrandize a murderous dictator who terrorized the people of Cuba for six decades. For both reasons you articulated, I join you in the boycott.’
Yet she joins him in a boycott because the chosen actor is not latino. So Leguizamo is not worth his salt because he wants the part? Hypocrite!
What about Justin Trudeau?
They should cast satan as Castro, just like in real life.
He’s still around.
The Democrats do everything they can to make sure of it.
Justin is on Holiday in Costa Rica.
Prancing around in brown face.
I would remind them where the root word of “latino” comes from, as well as the name of the guy who ran Spain for decades. If a Colombian has a right to play a “latin” dictator, so does a guy named Franco.
Johnny played a doctor on ER and wasn’t a doctor.
He also played talking sloth in Ice Age movies – weren’t there any talking sloths around?
WDS
I agree, devils spawn Justin Trudeau would be the logical choice. But it would be a cut in pay.
benny blanco from the bronx, suck dick
Well if it’s okay for a man to pretend he’s a woman, then it’s okay for James Franco to pretend he’s Latino.
Trudeau know the entire script by heart, and he has the nose, ears, chin, eyes, DNA and the personality.
Never heard of ’em. Refuse to watch movie tainted with liberalism.
John should be thankful they didn’t cast a fat, pink-haired dyke…
Leguizamo portrayed the fat, evil clown Violator in “Spawn” and … oh … well … maybe I can see where he’s coming from …
mortem tyrannis
izlamo delenda est …
Is Franco a Hollweird Communist?
If so,…
Could pay me to with in a mile of either one.
Tucker Carlson has been referring to Justin as Fidel Junior.

Well then we should stop gays from playing straight men
Well that’s funny since Leguizamo had no protest when he was cast as the evil, demonic, poop-and-garbage eating, filthy, farting, vulgar, villainous, murderous, predatory, pompous, grasping, greedy, black-hating, pretentious clown from hell in the 1997 ‘SPAWN’ film starring Michael Jai White as the hero.
Yul Brynner defined Egyptian Pharaoh
Anthony Quinn became Zorba the Greek
The best James Bond (don’t argue) was the Scot Sean Connery
Peter Sellers was an unbeatable Clouseau
Leguizamo will never reach their status
