- Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs have broken their silence on the controversy surrounding the film adaptation of Raynor Winn's memoir, The Salt Path, ahead of its US release.
- An Observer investigation previously alleged that Winn fabricated key details of her life story, including how she and her husband became homeless, though Winn strongly denies the claims.
- Anderson described the timing of the scandal as unfortunate and admitted it sucked, but expressed hope that audiences would view the film as a separate entity.
- Isaacs confirmed the stars will carry out publicity overseas for the beautiful film, stating he believes much of the project remains valid despite the questioned narrative.
- The film, which earned £7.6m at the UK box office to become one of 2025's top British indie titles, is set to open in US cinemas on 4 September.
