(Photo by Han Myung-Gu/Getty Images) Han Myung-Gu—Getty Images  by [Cady Lang](https://time.com/author/cady-lang/)  ## Cady Lang Jan 19, 2018 5:40 PM UTC Actor [Colin Firth](http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2066367%5F2066369%5F2066448,00.html) is adding his voice to [a growing list of actors who are speaking out against Woody Allen](http://time.com/5106106/woody-allen-dylan-farrow-actors/), decades after [Dylan Farrow](http://time.com/5107547/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-cbs-interview/), Allen’s adopted daughter [alleged that Allen molested her](http://time.com/5105778/dylan-farrow-woody-allen-interview/), which he has long denied. Firth, who appeared in Allen’s 2014 film, _Magic in the Moonlight_, told [_The Guardian_](https://www.theguardian.com/film/2018/jan/18/colin-firth-woody-allen-accusations-film)on Thursday that he won’t be doing anything with Allen in the future. “I wouldn’t work with him again,” Firth said. His statement follows Farrow’s first televised interview about her 1992 allegation that her father molested her when she was 7, something that Allen has denied. Firth is one of the first high-profile male actors to denounce working with Allen because of the allegations; Greta Gerwig, Mira Sorvino, Ellen Page, Rebecca Hall, and Rachel Brosnahan have all said that they won’t be working with Allen again. Most recently, Hall and [Timothée Chalamet both pledged to donate their salaries](http://time.com/5103954/timothee-chalamet-woody-allen-salary-donation/) from Allen’s upcoming film _A Rainy Day in New York_ to [Time’s Up](http://time.com/5105871/black-dress-protest-golden-globes-auction-ebay/). ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5109933/colin-firth-says-he-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5109933/colin-firth-says-he-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again/"},"headline":"Colin Firth Says He Won't Work With Woody Allen Again","datePublished":"2018-01-19T17:40:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:50.332Z","description":"Here's what the actor had to say about it","url":"https://time.com/5109933/colin-firth-says-he-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","woody allen","viral","Colin Firth"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteae812cc13ee99e9/6988f8c9db298753b925e75c/coin-firth-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blteae812cc13ee99e9/6988f8c9db298753b925e75c/coin-firth-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' Press Conference","caption":"'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' Press Conference","creditText":"Han Myung-Gu—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5109933/colin-firth-says-he-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again/","name":"Colin Firth Says He Won't Work With Woody Allen Again"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Timothée Chalamet Donates Woody Allen Movie Salary To Time's Up, RAINN","description":"Timothee Chalamet of Call Me By Your Name announced he’ll donate his salary from Woody Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York to various organizations, following a host of actors who have expressed regret over working with the director.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/X3fDCsyg/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2018-01-16T15:31:51.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/X3fDCsyg.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5109933/colin-firth-says-he-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again/","duration":"PT1M8S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5109933/colin-firth-says-he-wont-work-with-woody-allen-again/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
