‘Days of Thunder’ Star Randy Quaid Says Anne Hathaway Is ‘Woke’ and a ‘Horrible Choice’ for the Sequel: ‘You Need the Original Girl’

Randy Quaid, the 75-year-old actor known for his role as boisterous NASCAR Tim Daland in the 1990 film Days Of Thunder, recently expressed his disapproval of Anne Hathaway's casting as the lead lady in the highly anticipated sequel, which may or may not feature Tom Cruise.

Quaid, who has not been actively involved in professional acting since his controversial claims of being targeted by Hollywood in 2010, has no control over the production of this potential sequel.
