Kieran Culkin cringes as co-star Julie Delpy says she wishes she ‘was African American’ in resurfaced interview

A resurfaced video shows Kieran Culkin cringing as his co-star Julie Delpy says she wishes she “was African American.”

In the clip, the actor sat by his “Wiener-Dog” co-star as she complained there was “nothing worse than being a woman” in the entertainment industry while promoting their 2016 film at the Sundance Film Festival.

“Two years ago, I said something about the [Oscars] Academy being very white male, which is the reality, and I was slashed to pieces by the media,” the France-born actress and writer told TheWrap.

“It’s the hardest to be a woman,” the Oscar-nominated writer continued. “Feminists is probably something people hate above all. Nothing worse than being a woman in this business. I really believe that — actually in America because in France it’s fine.”

After the resurfaced clip started trending on social media, several fans took to the comments to express their disappointment in the “Two Days in Paris” star.

“I just saw Julie Delpy’s entire statements and it is worse than I thought,” one user wrote on Twitter. “She really just erased the struggles that Black women face everyday.”

“It was never meant to diminish the injustice done to African American artists or to any other people that struggle for equal opportunities and rights,” she told Entertainment Weekly at the time. Instagram/delpy.julie

The “Before Sunrise” star previously apologized for her statement, insisting she never meant to “underestimate anyone else’s struggle.”

“I’m very sorry for how I expressed myself,” she wrote in a statement to Entertainment Weekly days after making the controversial comment. “It was never meant to diminish the injustice done to African American artists or to any other people that struggle for equal opportunities and rights; on the contrary.

“All I was trying to do is to address the issues of inequality of opportunity in the industry for women as well (as I am a woman). I never intended to underestimate anyone else’s struggle!”
