Elijah Wood Denies Knowledge of Hollywood Pedophilia

Actor Elijah Wood claims his provocative interview with the Sunday Times, in which he suggested there exists rampant pedophilia in Hollywood, was taken out of context. In a new comment to The Hollywood Reporter, the star said his interview “became about something else entirely,” thanks to a brief tangent about sex abuse in the film business. “It prompted a number of false and misleading headlines. I had just seen a powerful documentary, and I briefly spoke with the reporter about the subject, which had consequences I did not intend or expect,” he explained. “But as I made absolutely clear to the writer, I have no firsthand experience or observation of the topic, so I cannot speak with any authority beyond articles I have read and films I have seen.”
