Daniel Kaluuya is an in-demand actor in today's industry, starring in Get Out, Queen & Slim, Judas and the Black Messiah, Black Panther, and Nope, all within the past five years. The actor probably knows a thing or two about filmmaking, working closely with Jordan Peele on two of his blockbuster hits. That's why Kaluuya had something to say to Logan Paul, responding to his criticism of his latest movie, Nope, which was released earlier this summer on July 22.
Nope has crossed the $100 million mark at the box office, with favorable reviews from both critics and audiences and an 82% score from Rotten Tomatoes. However, social media influencer, boxer, and WWE star Logan Paul was one fan who called the film 'one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.' His rant was documented on Twitter, with Paul letting his feelings be known to his 6.5 million followers. 'This movie is objectively slow and confusing with stretched themes that don't justify the pace,' and 'The deep-voiced cinematographer was cryptic for no other reason than being cryptic,' was just a few of the complaints from the influencer. You can find the rest of his tirade down below.
Clearly, someone wasn't a fan of Jordan Peele's latest outing at the cinema.
Daniel Kaluuya Responds to Logan Paul's Criticism, 'What's He Done in Cinema?'
Appearing on Capital FM, Nope star Daniel Kaluuya responded to Logan Paul's criticism, and he's not impressed with the influencer's opinions. During his interview, he says he doesn't understand why anyone would care about Paul's views toward the film, and wouldn't want to sit down with the social media star to explain the movie either.
"Why is his opinion top of the tree? Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but what's he done in cinema? Imagine if they asked me about Eric Clapton. I'd take everyone's opinion on... I'll listen to it, but I'm just going, 'I don't know why you over everybody else.' I'm happy to sit down with him. Actually, would I sit down with him? Nah, actually that defeats the point. I wouldn't sit down with him.'
It appears that the Oscar-winning actor feels he's given enough attention to Logan Paul and doesn't care whether the WWE wrestler likes the movie or not. Kaluuya's next film is still unknown, as he missed out on Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to film Nope. However, expect the actor to pick something that is an award-season contender, as Daniel Kaluuya has proven his talent is up there with the best in the business.
