George Clooney took up the standard for women in Hollywood at the Toronto Film Festival on Friday, saying that “a lot more” roles written for men could be played by women.
“There’s a lot more out there if people just started thinking,” he said after the premiere of a movie he produced starring Sandra Bullock, “Our Brand is Crisis.”
In the film, Bullock plays a consultant to foreign political campaigns, a role originally written for a man.
