Firth joins list refusing to work with Woody Allen.
Colin Firth is the latest actor to refuse working with director Woody Allen after having starred in one of his films in the past.
Firth, who starred in the filmmaker’s 2014 flick “Magic in the Moonlight” alongside Emma Stone, told The Guardian he “wouldn’t work with him again.”
The 57-year-old actor is the latest star to voice his disapproval of Allen, whose adopted daughter Dylan Farrow recently came forwarded to reiterate her accusations that he molested her when she was a child.
Allen’s adopted daughter Dylan, now 32, alleged that he sexually assaulted her when she was 7 years old in an attic at her mother’s Connecticut home.
The “Annie Hall” director has repeatedly denied the allegations despite Farrow’s instance that the disturbing incident occurred.
