On July 25, Variety released an interview with Jamie Bell about his role as a neo-Nazi in the movie Skin. The award-winning British Billy Elliot star who recently featured in the Elton John biopic Rocketman, gave his comments about the current state of racism in the world, believing that white supremacy has been emboldened by President Trump and saying, "Trump leaves me hopeless.
In Skin, Bell plays the role of former neo-Nazi Bryon Widner, who co-founded one of the fast-growing white supremacist groups in America. For the film, Bells face was coated with the violent and racist tattoos that Widner once donned -- a shocking departure from the Brits rosy-cheeked child actor days. According to the Variety interview, Bell believes that Widners frightening character is much more real than people would like to imagine.
Leading up to the release of the movie, Bell expressed his concern that the film would be too explosive given how supposedly prevalent white supremacy is in America. Speaking nervously with Trumps racist tweets in mind, Bell stated:
We live in a world where its being emboldened. Theyre walking in the streets, theyre in broad daylight, theyre showing their faces [...] Even now, just this past weekend, the comments that this president has made. Today, hes doubled down on them.

Are "they" throwing acid on you? Go back to the UK where it's so much better, you idiot.
Go back to London to kiss the butt of the Islamakazi mayor and his thugs.
Auditioning for the role of former has-been.
I have a similar tagline. I may have to resurrect it after the Frau Mueller whining from the left dies down.America is the only country so great that people who hate it wont leave it.
America is the only country, so great that people who hate it, wont leave it.
Shut up and get back to counting your money, Jamie.
The United States had become a place where entertainers like _Jamie Bell__ and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance.
They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)

Here he is the 2008 film "Defiance"as Asael Bielski with a young Mia Waiskowska.
Here he is in the 2015-2017 TV series, "Turn: Washington's Spies", as Abraham Woodhull with actress Heather Lind.
Read about Woodhull and the spies. Didn’t see the TV show, although I hope to be able to find it on Prime, or DVD. (Is that the series from Brian Kilmeade’s book?) Never heard of this girl, either.
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump
In real life, actual real life WS countrywide probably would fit in a movie theater...
Define WS.
Well I just checked and that film opened yesterday in exactly 2 theaters. This film will open and close quick. Bell can go back to England.
Why does anybody give a rip about an ACTOR’S opinion? Especially a foreigner?
They get paid to say someone else’s words. That does not require much in the way of analytical thinking.
WS=White supremacist. Sort of like folks who put G*d when they should put God. Just a SWAG though.
"White Supremacist"
Define: White people are superior to people of other races and therefore should be dominant over them.
“Ever heard the expression not worth the powder it would take to blow him/her up?”
No. My grandmother used to say, “Not worth powder and shot to blow him to Hell.”
