I asked those ten women if they would like to have a physical relationship with me. I will still ask if that is what you say Me Too means. No woman has come here and asked me.  What should I tell her? Did you have sex with your wife first?? Everyone is not like that’ the actor said in the press conference.

Controversial affirmation:

“How do you have sex with a girl? Tell me, how did you call that girl to your side? In my life, I have had sex with at least 10 women. I asked the 10 girls to have sex with me. If this is what you as “Me Too”, I will do it again. If I feel like having sex with that girl again, I will ask her. She will politely say” No”. No woman has come to me and asked, do you know what’s a women’s interpretation is?” the actor said to the reporters.
