Tatiana Maslanythe protagonist of She-Hulk and the now cult Orphan Black (here is our analysis of her many fantastic roles in the series), harshly criticized the Disney CEO. Not long ago, in fact, the actress objected Bob Iger for his comments calling the unions' demands unrealistic. All this happened during the double strike of screenwriters and actors.
Today Tatiana Maslany returned to talk about the moment in which, precisely, she defined Bob Iger “out of reality” in his statements during the joint strike of actors and screenwriters.
In an interview with The Independent, Tatiana Maslany explained how she felt and her pressures at that time. While picketing the strike, she was asked for comment on the Disney CEO's remarks. Those, in fact, according to which the unions' requests were unrealistic.
But let's recap, remembering Tatiana Maslany's exact words to Bob Iger's statements, which he also called the strikes “very worrying“. The star of She-Hulk (here is our honest criticism of the series) responded by defining these statements as “completely out of reality”:
“He is completely out of touch with the workers who make his (Bob Iger and Disney) shows, who make people watch them, who bring him viewers and therefore money. Having worked for Disney, I know where people are left behind and exploited, and it's outrageous to see how much wealth isn't shared with the people who actually make the shows. I'm talking about crew, cast and writers.”
“In those moments, you are so angry. It's hard to express yourself the way you want to when you're picketing everyone else.”
The actress had in fact come down, we remember, to picket New York City in July 2023 to support striking actors and screenwriters. These were struggling due to low wages in the industry. Tatiana Maslany said she had friends who had worked in the industry for decades and who had lost health care because of the very low minimum wages. All situations which, naturally, altered her state of mind at the time of her statements. Speaking of burning interviews, we leave you with 10 actors who have declared that they hate a character they played in TV series.
