“I would like to address the recent comments I made, intended to be humorous rather than offensive. Analogies such as ‘slippery as a snake’ are commonly used in language. However, I recognize how my words might have been misunderstood and apologize for any unintended offense caused.
Going forward, I will strive to communicate with greater clarity and sensitivity,” he wrote. It’s worth noting that the actor made these remarks during a private TV show, where he likened pursuing women to chasing flies – the more you pursue, the more they evade, and if you pause, they land like a fly. He shared an example of this by recounting how a fly evaded him while he chased it, but settled on his nose once he stopped.
