Los Angeles, Nov 3 (IANS) Irish actor-filmmaker Kenneth Branagh has described the Hollywood abuse scandal as a "horrible wake-up call" for the society.
The 56-year-old actor believes the wave of sexual abuse allegations made against a number of renowned figures in the movie business has shone a light on the issue and he hopes that, in time, it will instigate "change for the better", reports mirror.co.uk.
"I think it feels like a sea change. It is about the abuse of power and it's not just (Hollywood) but it's clearly across other areas and other workplaces," Branagh said on the show "Lorraine".
"I think it's a horrible, horrible wake-up call to what has never been acceptable and never can be acceptable and may now, in some profound way, I hope, change for the better," he added.
