An award-winning actor called Harvey Fierstein says he's been getting confused for disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
Fierstein, whose credits include Mrs Doubtfire and Independence Day, took to Twitter to say he'd been getting "flak" since Weinstein's fall from grace.
Fierstein, 63, has won Tony Awards for acting and in 2007 was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame.
Weinstein has faced multiple allegations of sexual harrassment and assault over the past week.
Among those to level claims at him include Rose McGowan, Asia Argento, Cara Delevingne, Mira Sorvino, Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie.
Rushdie described the pain as 'a 10' and lost vision in one eye.
