'He was fairly horrid': Actress Jacki Weaver, 71, says disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, 67, had a bad reputation in Hollywood for years

Veteran Australian actress Jacki Weaver, 71, has revealed what it was like working alongside disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. 

Speaking on Andrew Denton's Interview program on Tuesday night, Jacki said she knew Weinstein well and that he had a 'fairly horrid' reputation in the movie industry for years.

'Um, Harvey Weinstein ... [he had a reputation] for being fairly horrid,' the actor said.

'He never came onto me, I'm too old!' Weaver jokingly added. 

Weinstein, 67, produced Silver Linings Playbook in 2012, for which Weaver was later nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. 

Weinstein has been accused of inappropriate sexual conduct, harassment or assault by dozens of women since 2017.

Jacki also threw her support behind Weinstein's accusers, telling Denton that she believes 'all the girls that have talked about him'.

However, the disgraced movie mogul denies all allegations of non-consensual sex.

Earlier in the interview, Jacki opened up about how she considered having plastic surgery.

When she ran the idea by her US agent, however, her response left no ambiguity. 

'I said to my agent, this wonderful New York woman called Hildy, "I'd just like a little nip and tuck",' said Jacki.

'She said, "Don't' touch your f**king face!"'

'At my age in Hollywood [there are women] who don't look like they're themselves anymore, you know what I mean?' Jacki said.
