John Malkovich pulls out of Israel performance, says producer’s PR release misquoted him

American actor John Malkovich has canceled his planned performance in Israel next year, citing a misquoted statement attributed to him by the Israeli producer of his show, according to a PR release. The production, a musical theater show titled The Music Critic, was scheduled to take place at the Tel Aviv Culture Hall on April 13, 2027.

Malkovich expressed his disappointment, stating that the quote was falsely attributed to him and did not reflect his true feelings. He emphasized that his performances in various countries do not endorse their policies or leaders, and he will not participate in the Tel Aviv performance due to the misleading statement.
