Nick Aposolides put internet trolls in their place
Although it is not the first time that Apostolides has played Leon S. Kennedy, he knows what it is like to be in Gao’s shoes, since he remembers that he is not the original actor of this character and when he played him for the first time in Resident Evil 2 Remake he also ran into fans who harshly criticized his work.
Thus, the actor contacted Gao and took advantage of his own experience to give her very wise advice and invite her not to take anything personally and made her see that there are people who support her among the vocal “trolls” who make the most noise. In Internet.
“I told him that first of all you can’t take it personally. Whenever you take on the role of a beloved character, people are going to have their opinions. If people are not happy, those will be the loudest voices,” the actor wisely advised. “It’s not that you don’t have support, it’s just that the ones who need to make their voices heard online are the Twitter trolls and they will make you understand that they don’t like you.”
Lily Gao had also played Ada Wong, but in the live-action movie Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City (2021), but Resident Evil 4 Remake it was his debut in the video game series and clearly the criticism was harsher this second time around.
In case you missed it: Fans also supported Lily Gao after she was bullied on social media for Resident Evil 4 Remake.
The actor’s words are more geared towards cheering Gao up and making her more resistant to negative comments, but that’s not to say that internet trolls are right; on the contrary, for which Apostolides took the opportunity to mention that the way in which they manifest is not right.
“Everyone has a right to an opinion, but spewing hate and sending messages to actors to say they are absolute garbage and to fuck them and not act again: that is not acceptable,” Apostolides said in an interview with The Gamer. “If you have so much hate in your heart, send it elsewhere. I’m sorry your life has been so bad that you have to do that, but it’s so sad.”
