Quentin Tarantino recently criticized Matthew Lillard’s acting in public comments, and Lillard has responded by saying those remarks hurt his feelings but that he is trying not to dwell on them.
What Tarantino Said
Tarantino, while discussing films and performances he dislikes, grouped Matthew Lillard with a few other actors he said he does not care for as performers. These remarks were made in the context of a broader, blunt critique of certain actors’ work, which drew attention because of Tarantino’s influence in the film industry.
How Lillard Responded
Matthew Lillard addressed the comments during a fan event, initially brushing them off with a joking “who cares” attitude when the audience reacted with boos on his behalf. He later clarified that it actually does sting and “sucks” to hear such a harsh opinion from a prominent director, even though he emphasized that he will keep focusing on his own work rather than on Tarantino’s view.
