Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga star Nathan Jones shares a statement reminding people of the movie’s fictitious nature following harassing direct messages. Serving as a prequel to 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road, the latest installment in director George Miller’s apocalyptic franchise chronicles the origins of Charlize Theron’s Furiosa, played this time by Anya Taylor-Joy.

Jones has now taken to Facebook to share a new message reminding audiences that Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is, in fact, a fictional story. The actor claims to have received some private messages from viewers about the film, seemingly regarding some uncomfortable scenes his character has with a young Furiosa. Check out Jones’ post below:

“I’ve noticed a few queries and private messages about my role in Mad Max: Furiosa,” Jones writes, “Particularly regarding a scene with young Furiosa. This is a very sensitive subject, and I want to emphasize that it involves a fictional character.” He continues: “The details can be uncomfortable, and as an actor, my job is to portray a character based on the direction and script provided to me. I appreciate your understanding and support in recognizing the distinction between fiction and reality. Thank you.”
