British film director Richard Curtis admitted he regretted the fat jokes in his films, months after lamenting the film's lack of diversity in its cast.
'Love Actually' director Richard Curtis said he regrets making jokes about weight in his films, calling those jokes no 'longer funny.' The British director and screenwriter of films like 'Notting Hill' and 'Bridget Jones Diary,' made these remarks during an interview with his daughter, activist and writer Scarlett Curtis, at the Times and Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival this month.
'I think because I came from a very un-diverse school and a bunch of university friends,' Curtis explained. ' ‘Notting Hill,’ I think that I hung on to the diversity issue, to the feeling that I wouldn’t know how to write those parts. And I think I was just sort of stupid and wrong about that.' He acknowledged that he and the rest of the crew did not look 'outwards enough' in paying attention to the racial history of the Notting Hill district when making the film.
