The Hollywood star questions whether actors should play roles with identities they do not inhabit.
The Port Talbot-born actor said that the fact that several people with disabilities worked on the project, which focuses on a family whose child has cerebral palsy who suffers a life-threatening seizure, was "striking" as he has rarely seen it before.He said: "You know, seeing people playing Welsh characters who are not Welsh, I find, it's very hard for me to accept that.
Similarly, Sheen said he has not seen many actors who have come from "quite privileged backgrounds" be "particularly compelling" when playing characters from working-class backgrounds. "If you haven't experienced something, you know, the extreme example is, well, if you haven't murdered someone, can you play a murderer?" He said.
Online, however, Twitter-users have pointed out that the actor has played many non-Welsh roles, accusing him of double standards. This Twitter post cannot be displayed in your browser. Please enable Javascript or try a different browser.
