Legendary British-American actor and director Terry Gilliam of “Monty Python” fame is not afraid to push back on politically correct notions promoted by his counterparts in Hollywood. In his latest comments taking aim at progressive premises, the 79-year-old “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” director slammed the idea that only people with the right sexuality, gender identity or race can play certain roles.

“In Hollywood, there’s a lot of pressure if you’re going to have a transgender character, then you have to have a transgender actor — it’s ridiculous,” Gilliam told AFP Friday. “If you’re going to have a serial killer then you’ve got to have a serial killer actor who has killed many people? It’s illogical.”
