Dame Joan Collins says cancel culture has taken fun out of Hollywood: ‘Parties are dull now - everyone behaves’

Hollywood royalty Dame Joan Collins says the fear of cancel culture is taking all the fun out of Hollywood.

The 90-year-old she still loves a good old fashioned showbiz soirée — but, she says, they don’t make them like they used to.

“The parties I go to now are kind of...dull,” she told Best magazine. “They are red carpet things in which everybody does behave. If you don’t behave now you are going to get cancelled.”

Five-times married Dame Joan is best known for playing Alexis Colby in the Eighties soap opera Dynasty.

She has been a fixture on the showbiz circuit for decades and in that time has seen many faces come and go.

Eyeing up celebrities today, the London native — who moved to the United States when she was 20 — said she sees only four stars having longevity in showbusiness: Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt and Keanu Reeves.

She said: “I think Nicole Kidman is fabulous and Margot Robbie is one of the great beauties. Particularly Brad, he is like one of the movie stars of the Golden Age.”
