John Leguizamo, Ana Navarro Call for Boycott of James Franco as Fidel Castro: ‘He Ain’t Latino!’

confirmed Thursday by TheWrap, the actor will portray the Cuban revolutionary in the upcoming indie film about his daughter Alina Fernandez.Actor John Leguizamo, a vocal advocate for greater Latino representation in Hollywood, led the charge on Instagram.“How is this still going on?” he wrote in a Friday post. “How is Hollywood excluding us but stealing our narratives as well? No more appropriation Hollywood and streamers! Boycott! This F’d up!”Adding that it would be “seriously difficult” to represent Castro “without aggrandizement,” the “Encanto” star said: “I don’t got a prob with Franco but he ain’t Latino!”Franco was born in Palo Alto, California, and is of Jewish, Portuguese and Swedish ancestry.
In the casting announcement, lead producer John Martinez O’Felan said Franco had the “closest facial likeness” of “the entire ranks of actors with Latin roots in Hollywood.”“To get there on such a tough look to cast, we used Fidel Castro’s ancient Galician heraldry as our focal compass, and then combed through the entire ranks of actors with Latin roots in Hollywood to find someone who has a similar facial structure,” he told Deadline. “In executing a close search into our hopefuls through the eye of Spanish and Portuguese genealogy which the Galicians held, we found that James, by far, had the closest facial likeness of our Industry’s leading actors, meaning that the focus would be to build out his character accent and we’d have a stunning on-screen match to intrigue audiences and bring the story to life with true visual integrity.” Leguizamo’s criticism was echoed by “The View” co-host Ana Navarro-Cárdenas.
