Buffalo Bill Actor SHOCKER: ‘Silence of the Lambs’ Was ‘F***ing Wrong’!
Can you believe a beloved film icon is calling their own classic work "f***ing wrong" decades later? That's right, Ted Levine, the chilling actor behind *Silence of the Lambs*' infamous Buffalo Bill, has finally broken his silence on his character's controversial portrayal of gender identity, admitting profound regret. While he originally saw Buffalo Bill as simply a "screwed-up straight man" during filming, Levine now confesses he's had a complete change of heart. After working with trans individuals and gaining a deeper understanding, he firmly believes the film "vilified" the trans community. Even producer Edward Saxon is echoing these sentiments, confessing the filmmakers regrettably lacked sensitivity to stereotypes, despite not intending malice at the time. They genuinely believed Buffalo Bill was just a "sick individual" with an "aberrant personality," not a representation of the trans community. This admission re-ignites a decades-old debate, forcing Hollywood to confront how iconic characters can inadvertently cause harm. And just when you thought the tea was spilled, Saxon even took an unexpected jab at President Donald Trump, comparing his rhetoric to the film's own dark themes. It's a stark reminder that even classic cinema isn't immune to modern scrutiny.
