Jeff Daniels and Peter Sarsgaard on director Woody Allen

In light of the #MeToo movement and Time’s Up initiative, both Jeff Daniels and Peter Sarsgaard revealed Monday they will never work with controversial director Woody Allen again.

Daniels acted in two of the 82-year-old filmmaker’s movies Radio Days (1987) and The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985), for which he scored his first Golden Globe nomination.

‘It’s a difficult decision because of Purple Rose of Cairo,’ the 63-year-old Emmy winner said on MSNBC’s Meet the Press Daily.

‘That movie will always be a great experience, a great movie for me, and he will always be a great American filmmaker. I got to work with him at the age of 30 and it changed my life. All of that and I believe Dylan Farrow. Would I do another one with Woody? The difficult decision would be to turn him down because of Purple Rose.’

And Sarsgaard – who has two daughters with wife Maggie Gyllenhaal – memorably played wealthy widower Dwight in Blue Jasmine (2013).

‘I’ve already done a Woody Allen movie. No,’ the 46-year-old Golden Globe nominee told host Chuck Todd.

‘It’s such a complicated question. I mean, I believe people when they say, “I was assaulted or molested” or something like that because I don’t think you really have any other choice. Because if we start not believing people, it’s a slippery slope. They say that it’s very, very rare for somebody to make something like that up, so I would rather err on that side.’

Many celebrities choose to look the other way when it comes to the four-time Oscar winner, who married his ex-partner Mia Farrow’s daughter Soon-Yi and allegedly molested her daughter Dylan.

On January 16, 32-year-old Dylan repeated her ‘credible’ allegations on CBS This Morning, and Woody’s son Ronan penned the New Yorker’s exposé on another alleged sexual assaulter Harvey Weinstein.

But Dylan’s 40-year-old brother Moses denied she was ever abused and shockingly revealed that his 73-year-old adoptive mother Mia had actually abused him in a January 4 WordPress post.

It’s mainly for this reason that Alec Baldwin – who worked with Allen three times – repeatedly defends his To Rome with Love helmer in hot-tempered tweets.

The 59-year-old Oscar nominee wrote that he needed ‘a lot more’ than ‘persistance of emotion’ from Dylan and wrote: ‘To say that @RealDylanFarrow is telling the truth is to say that @MosesFarrow is lying. Which of Mia’s kids got the honesty gene and which did not?’

Also fervently in Woody’s corner is his ex-girlfriend Diane Keaton, who’s been directed by him seven times since Sleeper (1973).

The 72-year-old Oscar winner tweeted last month: ‘Woody Allen is my friend and I continue to believe him. It might be of interest to take a look at the 60 Minute interview from 1992 and see what you think.’
