Nearly 17 years later, Rebecca Hall has more complex feelings about her professional association with Woody Allen than she previously stated.
After donating her pay from Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York to Time’s Up in 2018 and stating she was “profoundly sorry” for working with him, the Golden Globe nominee says she wouldn’t have responded the same way today.
“I struggle with this one. It’s very unlike me to make a public statement about anything,” Hall told The Guardian. “I make the stuff, that’s how I am political. I don’t think of myself as an ‘actor-vist,’ I’m not that person. And, I kind of regret making that statement, because I don’t think it’s the responsibility of his actors to speak to that situation.”
She recalled being “in a tangle” working on the set of Allen’s movie, when allegations broke against the film’s producer Harvey Weinstein. Dylan Farrow‘s resurfaced sexual assault allegations against her father also prompted Hall to speak up.
“Like, in this moment, it’s the most important thing to believe the women,” she explained. “Yes, of course, there’s going to be complications and nuances in these stories, but we’re redressing a balance here. So I felt like I wanted to do something definitive.”

Hall added, “But it just became, ‘another person denounces Woody Allen and regrets working with him,’ which is not what I said actually. I don’t regret working with him. He gave me a great job opportunity and he was kind to me.”
Her performance in 2008’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona earned the actress her first Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress — Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.
Noting that she doesn’t speak to Allen “anymore,” Hall explained how she would respond to the #MeToo backlash around Allen if it came up today.
“I wouldn’t say anything – my policy actually is to be an artist,” said Hall. “Don’t come out and state your stuff so much. I don’t think that makes me apathetic or not engaged. I just think it’s my job.”
