You can add Andrew Garfield to the list of Jews who are totally cool with Mel Gibson. Not only is he starring in Gibson’s new film Hacksaw Ridge, but he told Jimmy Kimmel that he had no issues with the director who has a history of anti-Semitism.

Kimmel got right to it:

“Were you worried about working with him?” He asked. “You’re Jewish, right?”

“I am, yeah. I’m proud,” replied Garfield, cementing several Jewish teenage girls’ decision to stick pictures of him on their bedroom walls.

Garfield insisted that he was nothing but excited to work with Gibson, explaining that he’s glad he was able to get to know him “without all the noise and the nonsense getting in the way.”

Hacksaw Ridge is a biopic about a conscientious objector in World War II who served in the Battle of Okinawa anyway, without a weapon, rescuing fellow soldiers. It’s really Christian, both explicitly with its Seventh Day Adventist hero, but also its themes of pacifism and redemption. Apparently, the Christian message laid on thick, though the film has garnered mostly positive reviews. We here at Jewcy reserve our judgment having not seen it, but let our skepticism be noted.

Rashida Jones co-wrote and stars in a new movie, Celeste and Jesse Forever, out Friday, and she really wants you to see it. Jones, the child of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, has committed to tweeting a school photo of herself every day until you promise to go see the movie.

Jones, the daughter of Quincy Jones and Peggy Lipton, confirmed that she is completely awesome in real life by giving spot-on descriptions (of Bill O’Reilly: “He went crazy live on Fox News, he was like ‘Live! I want to do it live! I’m gonna do it live!’”) which Slattery quickly identified. When a picture of Mel Gibson popped up, she shouted “He hates Jews! And he’s hateful and angry!” then added, “He said horrible things to his girlfriend. He’s Australian. His dad hates Jews!”

Seriously, can we be friends?
