Snow White Dwarf Actor Joins Calls Against Peter Dinklage Dwarfism Claims

More people have spoken out following Peter Dinklage's comments on the Snow White live-action remake.

Dinklage said the film 'makes no sense' and that Disney seemed to be moving forward in one area of representation and backwards in another, noting: 'You’re progressive in one way and you’re still making that f*cking backwards story about seven dwarfs living in a cave together, what the f*ck are you doing man?'.

Following Dinklage's comments, Disney issued a statement, saying: 'To avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film, we are taking a different approach with these seven characters and have been consulting with members of the dwarfism community'.

The company then revealed that the seven characters would be portrayed as 'magical creatures' who would be played by voice actors.

WWE's Postl was quick to comment on the situation on Twitter, writing: 'Oh! So take roles AWAY from the dwarf community?!', before branding Dinklage a 'god damned idiot'.

'By being progressive in his mind and what he was trying to do and says he is trying to do, is really doing the opposite and taking dreams away and potential roles from seven dwarf actors - I think it's a shame', Postl said.

Tan, who has featured in productions of Snow White, also shared his thoughts during the interview, saying that Dinklage's comments could have a 'knock-on effect to other productions that are scared to employ people who are little and or who have dwarfism in fear of being attacked or derogatory'.
