Elijah Wood says Hollywood has a major pedophile problem

That’s interesting. Its also interesting that this interview was in the Sunday Times (unless I missed something). Britain has just been reeling/seedily obsessed with that whole BBC molester cover up thing. It seems pretty likely they would take some offhand comments from Wood about the issue, and spin it into confirmation of a similar problem/conspiracy in the US. I’ve never had much luck gauging where the Sunday Times sits on a scale of 1 to Daily Mail, but if they’re anything like much of the British press it doesn’t much surprise me.

That said this wouldn’t much surprise me. I’ve heard too many first hand accounts of clearly unethical and deeply weird party scenes (although nothing about children) from friends who have lived and worked in Hollywood. Between the number of gay friends I’ve had who’ve had run ins with Bryan Singer’s notoriously creepy parties, and that whole Dr. Luke thing it wouldn’t shock me on the whole. Lot of skeevy abusive people in the entertainment business, with a lot of people who’ll hide/back it guarantee their paycheck.
