Cork actress Sarah Greene turned down Harvey Weinstein's offer to appear in his films

An Irish actress has revealed she turned down Harvey Weinstein's offer to appear in his films because she "knew what he was like".

Cork star Sarah Greene told how she had dinner with the movie mogul who told her her he would turn her into "a star."

Weinstein also told the Dublin Murders actress he was betting on her winning a Tony Award.

She told The Irish Sun: "I told him he lost his money because I didn't win."

The disgraced former producer next contacted her by email telling her he was coming to see her perform in The Ferryman.

Sarah said: "We had dinner afterwards, just the two of us. He said: 'I want to put you in my films'. The next day, I had two scripts put in my hand."

She added that Weinstein did not make any inappropriate moves towards her during the dinner but she turned down the roles regardless.

Slamming Weinstein, she said: "Harvey Weinstein is a horrible man. He's a pig. I don't want to be associated with him. I knew what he was like.

"I made sure I wasn't ever in any hotel rooms with him. I was older than he thought I was. There's no story to tell."

Sarah, 35, also revealed how she feels the pressure of growing older as a woman in Hollywood and admitted she's considered getting "work done".

The Corkonian said: "Look at Leonardo DiCaprio in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He looks f***ing gorgeous whereas I've currently got every single machine and product working on my face to iron out every single wrinkle.

"It's really, really tough being a woman. I think about getting work done all the time."
