Richard Dreyfuss mocks trans youth in bizarre rant at “Jaws” film screening

Richard Dreyfuss, the 76-year-old Academy Award-winning actor, allegedly made transphobic comments during a May 25 showing of his 1975 shark horror film Jaws at the Cabot Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts. Theater management apologized for his comments, saying that they do not reflect the venue’s views.

“[He] started sharing his views on … how you shouldn’t be listening to some 10-year-old who says they want to be a boy instead of a girl,” one self-described attendee wrote on X. “Jesus Christ, what an explosion. Crowd was shouting at him and most walked out before the movie even started.”
