Anthony Mackie came under fire after telling fellow actor Tyler James Williams, best known for his role “Everybody Hates Chris,” that he was a weird-looking kid.
The comments were made during a special Variety magazine one-on-one between Mackie and Williams. The two veterans discussed and debated issues related to Hollywood.
During the exchange, Mackie told Williams, “You were a weird-looking kid. And you grew up to be, like, a good-looking dude.”
Without being knocked off his pivot by Mackie, Golden Globe winner Williams retorted, “I want to say that we were all weird-looking kids.”
