British singer Liam Payne addressed a controversial part of a One Direction music video featuring the character of the infamous Hollywood mogul, Harvey Weinstein.
One of the most watched videos of the song, The best song ever, introduced the band member Niall Horan trying the character of the convicted rapist and producer.
Speaking about the play released in 2013, Payne admitted that he regrets the addition of Weinstein’s character.
During Instagram Live with the video’s director, Ben Winston, it was confirmed that the character was indeed a Hollywood gift film.
Winston said, “I couldn’t make the video these days. We based a character on Harvey Weinstein. Listen, he was just a famous guy. “
“I know, I often think about it. Jesus Christ, “Payne added.
For the uninitiated, Harvey Weinstein was found guilty of several sexual offenses last February. He is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence at the Wende Correctional Facility in Alden, New York.
