SUBSCRIBE NOW : Serkis has defended Scarlett Johansson over the 'Rub & Tug' controversy.
There was an outcry earlier this year when the star was cast as a transgender man in drama movie 'Rub & Tug', leading to Scarlett pulling out of the movie but Serkis believes actors should be able to play any role they wish.
He told Variety: "I absolutely disagree. I really, vehemently disagree. Actors should be able to play anything, and that's why I love performance capture technology. What should be the point is that whatever colour your skin is, whatever shape you are, whatever height you are, whatever your makeup is as an actor, you should have the ability to play anything."
Andy said he wants equal opportunities in the movie industry, but he believes in artistic freedom.
Speaking about when Peter Jackson asked him to play King Kong, he explained: "I had thought 'Ok, I'll be going back into my career as a conventional actor.' But then Peter Jackson asked me to play King Kong, and that was a real epiphany moment -- sort of going, 'That, for me, is the end of typecasting.' Of course, equal representation and opportunity is what [the conversation] should be about, but we're in the art of the imagination."
