The third season of HBO's The White Lotus will no longer feature Miloš Bikovi?, the Serbian-born actor who was recently accused by Ukraine's foreign ministry of supporting Russia's invasion of the former Soviet republic.
HBO的電視劇《白蓮花度假村》第三季將不再有米洛斯·比柯維奇出演,這位塞爾維亞出生的演員最近被烏克蘭外交部指控支持俄羅斯入侵這個前蘇聯(lián)共和國。
"We have decided to part ways with Miloš Bikovi? and the role will be recast," an HBO spokesperson said Friday in a statement provided to EW.
HBO的一位發(fā)言人周五在給《娛樂周刊》的一份聲明中說:“我們已經(jīng)決定與米洛斯·比柯維奇分道揚鑣,這個角色將重新選角。”
Season 3 of the hit dramedy is slated to begin filming in Thailand this month. Details of the season are being kept under wraps, but according to Deadline, Bikovi? was expected to play the "small recurring role of Russian Valentin, a flirtatious yogi and the hotel's Life Enhancement Mentor."
該劇第三季將于本月在泰國開拍。這一季的細節(jié)還在保密中,但據(jù)Deadline報道,bikoviki預(yù)計將扮演“俄羅斯瓦倫丁這個小角色,一個輕浮的瑜伽修行者和酒店的生活提升導(dǎo)師。”
The news of Bikovi?'s departure comes nine days after Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs slammed HBO for casting the actor on social media, calling him "the Kremlin's foreign mouthpiece" and "a person who supports genocide & violates international law." The post tagged HBO and featured video of Bikovi? being awarded a medal for cultural achievement by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
比柯維奇離職的消息傳出九天前,烏克蘭外交部在社交媒體上抨擊HBO選他為演員,稱他是“克里姆林宮的外國喉舌”和“支持種族滅絕和違反國際法的人”。這篇帖子標(biāo)記了HBO,并展示了比柯維奇被俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾·普京授予文化成就獎?wù)碌囊曨l。
Bikovi? was granted Russian citizenship in 2021 and said in a 2019 interview that he has been banned from entering Ukraine.
比柯維奇于2021年獲得俄羅斯公民身份,并在2019年接受采訪時表示,他已被禁止進入烏克蘭。
In an Instagram statement addressing his White Lotus departure, Bikovi? claimed Friday that a "targeted campaign has been unleashed against me, seemingly as an external maneuver to influence decisions that can create a disturbing precedent, shadowing the essence of artistic freedom."
周五,比柯維奇在Instagram上發(fā)表了一份關(guān)于他離開白蓮花的聲明,他聲稱“一場針對我的有針對性的運動已經(jīng)開始了,這似乎是一種外部策略,目的是影響決定,可能會創(chuàng)造一個令人不安的先例,掩蓋藝術(shù)自由的本質(zhì)。”
He added, "I was honored to be chosen to be a part of White Lotus, a TV series that I hold in high regard and with colleagues whom I deeply respect. However, my participation is not possible due to reasons beyond the realm of art and I will not bow to any narrative that seeks to compromise my integrity. I would like to thank everyone who stood by me. I wish my colleagues great success in creating the next season."
他補充說:“我很榮幸被選為電視劇《白蓮花度假村》的一部分,這是我非常尊重的一部電視劇,我也非常尊敬我的同事。然而,由于藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域之外的原因,我不可能參加,我不會向任何試圖損害我的誠信的敘述低頭。我要感謝每一個支持我的人。我希望我的同事們在下一季的創(chuàng)作中取得巨大成功。”
The White Lotus season 3 is set to feature Leslie Bibb, Dom Hetrakul, Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Parker Posey, and Natasha Rothwell (reprising her role as Belinda from season 1).
《白蓮花度假村》第三季將會有Leslie Bibb、Dom Hetrakul、Jason Isaacs、Michelle Monaghan、Carrie Coon、Walton Goggins、Parker Posey和Natasha Rothwell(在第一季中扮演Belinda)出演。
