After being called out by his daughter, director Richard Curtis vowed he would never use another fat joke in his films ever again.
Director Richard Curtis has stated he was 'stupid and wrong' to use 'fat jokes' in his movies following criticism from his daughter Scarlett Curtis. The 66-year-old is one of Britain's most successful directors, having his breakthrough success with 1994's Four Weddings and a Funeral before giving us iconic romcom favourites such as Love Actually and Notting Hill.
She added: 'Just to name a few of my faves: 'tree trunk thighs'; Bridget being overweight when she's just a very skinny white woman; multiple counts of inappropriate male behaviour in Love Actually including the actual prime minister; a general feeling that women are visions of unattainable loveliness; and the noticeable lack of people of colour in a film called Notting Hill, which was quite literally one of the birthplaces of the British black civil rights movement.
