Paapa Essiedu FINALLY Speaks Out After Snape Casting Backlash - My Thoughts
About this episode
It was announced just over a year ago now that Paapa Essiedu would be taking on the role of Snape in the upcoming HBO Harry Potter series. Aaand it’s been a pretty controversial casting to say the least.
In fact, it’s gotten to the point where you really can’t have a discussion about any aspect of the series without people bringing it up.
And up until now, Essiedu himself hadn’t actually addressed the backlash. But in a recent interview, he finally spoke out about what he’s been experiencing.
Today I want to talk about what he said…But also—why this situation has gotten so out of control.
