Harris Dickinson Recalls Widespread Inappropriate Female Fan Comments Post-'Babygirl' Release

Harris Dickinson, star of the 2024 A24 erotic thriller Babygirl, has spoken out about receiving "deeply inappropriate" and "unacceptable" remarks from female fans during the film's press tour, which he found difficult to handle. He highlighted a disturbing double standard in Hollywood, noting that sexualizing younger male actors has become more accepted, yet the remarks he received were often off-putting and disrespectful. Dickinson expressed frustration over how the film, which he and director Halina Reijn approached as a unique and artistic project, was reduced by some fans to mere eroticism, overshadowing its artistic value. Despite these challenges, Dickinson remains proud of his work alongside Nicole Kidman and values the creative experience. He also shared an anecdote about a fan making inappropriate requests referencing the film, emphasizing the discomfort caused by such behavior. Overall, Dickinson is pushing back against the narrative and expectations that actors should simply tolerate such treatment without objection.
