This laughable explanation from the Princess Diana movie producer doesn't pass the smell test.
By "rumour", is he referring to the call by his casting director which explicitly said no UK-only passport holders "due to new #Brexit rules"?

Webster says "it's not a hindrance to have a British passport" then goes on to say "some of our cast will be European to meet certain funding requirements"
If a certain % of actors must be EU citizens, some small parts (like William) can't be British. I'd call that a hindrance.

"This is an official co-production with Europe so we don't anticipate any issue with our British cast working in Germany". Why would a co-production mean UK actors don't need visas to work in EU?
Sounds like Webster doesn't know what #Brexit means but his casting director does.

I'm also not impressed with @digitalspy unquestioningly accepting this from the producer and claiming it's now "cleared up".
How about asking why his own casting director said otherwise? Or why he thinks a co-production skirts visa rules? Or how many actors need to be European?
