VIDEO : Matt Damon Criticizes Accusations His Role in 'Great Wall' Should Have Gone to an Asian Acto

BEIJING (AP) ? Matt Damon criticized "outrageous" stories in the era of fake news as he responded Tuesday to accusations that his role in the new China-Hollywood co-production "The Great Wall" should have gone to an Asian actor. Some critics have said Damon's casting as the lead character amounted to "whitewashing," in which Caucasians are chosen for roles that actors of other ethnicities should play.
