The Toronto International Film Festival continues to produce headlines. After James Franco’s interesting purchase , it was Sarah Silverman’s turn.
The comedian turned to photographers calling her name, and told them: “Call me Jew!”
It was right before the start of the press conference for the movie Take This Waltz, starring Silverman, Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen.
Rogen told photographers: “I also respond to Jew.”
According to the National Post, Silverman was asked what she would change about her appearance to attract attention from fashionistas. Her response: “I could put a swastika on my forehead.”
