I don\u2019t like explosions and guns. I don\u2019t like histrionics. I don\u2019t like things that raise the stakes without real feeling underneath,” the Ask Alice<\/a> actress<\/a> continued. “I mean, that actually bothers me because that\u2019s like noise. I don\u2019t know how to play it. I don\u2019t want to watch it.”<\/p>\n Julianne Moore was called a ‘hypocrite’ by critics who pointed out her past action-packed roles.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As clips from her interview circulated on social media, some users accused her of having “selective amnesia” about her own work<\/a> and called her a “hypocrite.”<\/p>\n Moore has been in a number of action-packed \u2013 and violence-filled \u2013 movies over the course of her career, from playing Sarah Harding in The Lost World and Clarice Starling in Hannibal to helming the role of President Coin in both installments of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.<\/p>\n One critic on X wrote, “I\u2019ve lost count how many movies she\u2019s done with guns,” and another person chimed in, “A man had his skull removed in Hannibal, and brain eaten.”<\/p>\n A third user replied, “Funny how artists forget their own catalog until it\u2019s time to virtue signal,” and a fourth pointed out, “Much as I love her and respect her style, someone’s got to do the action and gory stuff cos (sic) we love those too.”<\/p>\n Some fans came to Julianne Moore’s defense and said they respected her decision.MEGA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n However, some fans argued that Moore’s opinion clearly changed over the decades for the better.<\/p>\n “Julianne Moore is touching a real nerve: entertainment shapes the soul more than people admit,” one X user noted, as another fan shared, “I like films with guns and action\u2026. It\u2019s also entirely okay that she isn\u2019t interested in that at this stage of her career for whatever her reasons. It\u2019s her right.”<\/p>\n A third person said, “Julianne Moore choosing emotion over chaos is exactly why she\u2019s respected worldwide.”<\/p>\n Julianne Moore described Meryl Streep as ‘modern,’ ‘wonderful and brave.’MEGA<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Later in the interview, Moore also shared how other actresses like Meryl Streep<\/a> helped shaped her views of women in entertainment.<\/p>\n‘I Don’t Want to Watch It’<\/h2>\n
