Two human stars of the upcoming release “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes” say they are on the side of the animals due to the current state of the planet.
The Associated Press shared a clip of stars Freya Allan and Owen Teague discussing the topic while promoting their new film. “I’m fully team ape,” Teague says in the clip.
Allan agreed with that assessment. “Listen, I’m obviously — when I’m playing Mae, I’m team human, but I’m team ape — Freya’s team ape.”
“I mean look at the planet — oh here we go …” she added, acknowledging that her statements would cause controversy among listeners.
