Anjelica Huston

LOS ANGELES — Anjelica Huston isn't apologizing after making pointed comments about some of her acting contemporaries and past relationships during press tour for “John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum.”

Huston has a key role in the Keanu Reeves action movie. She's been talking about her past while promoting the movie, making pointed jabs about Robert DeNiro's acting choices and a new Diane Keaton movie in the process.

Huston says she's tried not to hurt people and while she may sometimes say something that's politically incorrect, that's also a part of who she is.
