Julianne Moore is catching heat after admitting she’s over violent films with explosions and guns. The Oscar winner opened up at Cannes and the internet did not hold back.
The 65-year-old actress made the remarks during a Variety chat at the Kering Women in Motion Talk in Cannes, France on May 17. She explained that global tensions make it hard for her to invest in pretend high-stakes stories, adding she dislikes “explosions and guns” and “things that raise the stakes without real feeling underneath.” Clips quickly went viral on X, with users pointing out her own filmography including Hannibal where a man’s skull is removed and brain eaten. One post read, “I’ve lost count how many movies she’s done with guns.” Others defended her shift toward emotion over chaos. The shade echoes past May December criticism tied to real-life parallels with Vili Fualaau and Mary Kay Letourneau. So… is Julianne rewriting her own highlight reel or just keeping it real?
