Alright, folks, let’s talk about something that’s bound to stir the pot. Alan Alda, who has worked alongside the legendary writer and director Woody Allen in the past, has made a surprising statement. Despite the controversy that’s surrounded Allen for years, Alda has openly declared that he’d collaborate with him again if the opportunity arose.

Alan Alda’s Stance on Woody Allen

Now, let’s break this down. Alan Alda, at 82, has had a storied career and worked with Allen on some iconic films like Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989), Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993), and Everyone Says I Love You (1996). In a candid conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Alda revealed, “I’d work with him again if he wanted me.” He went on to explain, “I don’t know all the facts, I don’t know if he’s guilty or innocent. But you can be uncertain — that’s what I go on.”

Alda’s Perspective on the Controversy

Here’s the kicker: Alda was directly addressing the sexual abuse allegations against Allen from his daughter, Dylan, now 33 years old. He elaborated, “I just don’t have enough information to convince me I shouldn’t work with him. And he’s an enormously talented guy.” Alda isn’t the only one standing by Allen; Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem has also thrown his support behind the Annie Hall director.
