Zoe Saldana Says Her Boycotting Dolce & Gabbana Would Be the ‘Stupidest Thing’

Randy Holmes/ABC(NEW YORK) — While celebrities such as Elton John and Madonna have denounced the comments made by designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana regarding children born via in vitro fertilization or surrogacy, Zoe Saldana is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Dolce and Gabbana came under criticism for an interview with Italian magazine Panorama in which they lamented the use of IVF and surrogate mothers to create families, with Dolce saying, “I call children of chemistry, synthetic children.” John and other stars subsequently called for a boycott of the fashion brand.
Saldana has no plans to join the protest. The Guardians of the Galaxy actress told E! News, “No! Not at all, that would be the stupidest thing if it affected my fashion choice.”
She added, “People are allowed to their own opinion, however, I wouldn’t have chosen to be so public about something that’s such a personal thing.”
Saldana suggested that Dolce and Gabbana’s remarks may have been “lost in translation.” She explained, “My husband [Marco Perego] is from Italy and if I judged him based on the words that he misuses in our English language he wouldn’t be here today. It’s like look people, have a drink, relax, it’s okay.”
