Dustin Hoffman: ‘I was an outsider. I came to New York and I was cleaning toilets’
Guardian ^ | Sunday 6 March 2016 07.41 EST | Alex Needham

Hoffman agrees that The Graduate’s success is a salutary reminder to the film industry of today that it takes bold creative decisions to bust apart conventional wisdom and make films that reflect real people’s lives. However, he’s sceptical about the movies’ ability to tackle racism. “I don’t think that’s ever going to go away,” he says. “I think there’s always going to be some kind of bigotry or some kind of racism. There has to be, because people can’t feel that they have any hero qualities unless there’s someone beneath them.” He laughs.

Does that account for the rise of Donald Trump?

“It’s not that he’s there, it’s that he has a following that’s more disturbing,” says Hoffman. “He fell in at this moment when the majority of the Republican electorate feel, as they say, betrayed by their own party. He’s not that original – we’ve seen people throughout our lifetime that are Donald Trumps. He does have a charisma, but so does the guy selling you a watch on the corner and telling you that it’s a Rolex.”

Disgusting ugly stump who molests young girls. I’m sorry I ever liked any movie you did.

Dustin Hoffman Accused of Exposing Himself to a Minor, Assaulting Two Women.

That, and he's got some dumb opinion on Donald Trump.

Or as much charisma as the deep state that tells you a white woman can give birth to a black child.

Hoffman’s in the news today with a woman accusing him of exposing himself to her when she was 16. What a pretentious creep...

I just followed your link & read the article. What a pig. Hoffman is 80 & got away with assaulting young girls until now.

Hoffmann has obviously hired a PR guru at great expense to inoculate the public against the wave of stories coming out about short-stuff Dustin's criminal sexual behavior.

Look at the smug arrogant look on the face of this POS.

He’s lying, of course. He was well-established as a young character actor from the late 50s. You can see him in shows like Naked City, Hallmark Hall of fame tv plays and dozens of other things. He also worked regularly in theater. He didn’t just appear in The Graduate. That stuff is all made up by him and studio publicists.

Watch The Graduate then immediately follow it with Rainman. You'll see little difference in these two character portrayals.

This is a very sick man.

A new story is emerging.....Dustin showing his privates to a little girl.

This is a blatant sexual perversion called “Exhibitionism”......

In psychoanalysis, “Exhibitionism” commonly denotes a sexual perversion in which the exhibitor gains sexual satisfaction by displaying one’s genital parts.

That Dustin got off showing himself to a little girl is further indication of a criminally-minded perverted sicko.

Nonetheless, Dustin, no one wants to see your dick

On the screen, its like he's copping the attitude: "Hey, look at me......an ugly short Jewish guy starring in a movie."

In her book, Cybil Sheperd said he's so short, seated at a dinner party his feet did not even touch the floor.

She thought it was funny ...next day, sending him a telephone book to sit on....Hoffman was furious.
