“I said some things that hurt people, and I feel terrible about that,' Sam Elliott said during a panel for Deadline’s Contenders TV convention in Los Angeles.
The acclaimed period drama led this year’s Oscar nominees with 12 nods, while Campion took homeAt Sunday’s Deadline event, Elliott acknowledged the gay folks who have helped him navigate the entertainment industry, including his “dear friend” and talent agent “of a number of years.”‘Power of the Dog’ director Jane Campion called actor Sam Elliott’s demeaning remarks about the Oscar-nominated western ‘a little bit sexist.
“I’m sorry that I hurt any of those friends and someone that I loved and anyone else by the words that I used,” Elliott continued. “I also told [Maron] that I thought Jane Campion was a brilliant director, and I want to apologize to the cast of ‘The Power of the Dog’ — brilliant actors, all — in particular, Benedict Cumberbatch. I can only say that I’m sorry, and I am. I am.”
After Elliott said his piece, his “1883" co-star Faith Hill chimed in to vouch for his “amazing character.” “Can I say something?” Hill said. “On set ... if [Elliott] said something to anyone that may have been taken offensively — which ... most people would never think it would be offensive — he would ... go over and sit down and apologize.”
