Actress Rachel Weisz views the election of President Trump as “pretty catastrophic,” but her perspective on “Brexit” is even more ominous.
During an interview the Guardian published Saturday, the “My Cousin Rachel” star said it was difficult for her to understand how Trump won the 2016 presidential election.
She explained that the entire situation is “surrealist,” and that he could be damaging to women’s rights and the planet at large. However, she described Trump’s impact as “finite.” “Trump is pretty catastrophic, and there are terrible things he can do to the Earth and women’s rights, but I feel it will be reversible, somehow,” Weisz said.
In comparison, Weisz, who has dual citizenship in the U.S. and the United Kingdom, said the “Brexit” vote last summer to have the U.K. leave the European Union “feels like a death.”
“It’s gone. It made me think about my parents and the reason the European Union was created in the first place, to make sure we never had a war like that ever again, to come together and get rid of our nationalism, and be one stable thing. It’s very hard,” she said.
