Arrow star Stephen Amell admitted he had a “foot in the mouth” type moment when he initially commented on the ongoing actors’ strike and eventually joined the picket line to side with his fellow actors.Amell revealed to TMZ that he was misguided in his original statement about the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike. After he joined the picket line in New York this past weekend, Amell felt it was the “right time” to support the movement. “When I spoke the first time, I didn’t choose my words as I should,” he said. “I love acting, I love film and I love television and I know how much going on strike hurts, not just the actors, but all the people who work on film and television.”Amell recently made controversial remarks about the SAG-AFTRA strike at the GalaxyCon fan convention in Raleigh, North Carolina. He claimed the initiative was a “reductive negotiating tactic” and that he didn’t support it. However, he walked back his comments with a lengthy Instagram post, Amell insisted he wasn’t trying to undermine the purpose of the strike. “I always said that I support my union. Saying I don’t support the strike was the wrong choice of words, plain and simple. I put my foot in my mouth and I’m trying to take ownership of it,” he said. “I hesitate that I did a 180, it’s more that I should have spoken more clearly and concisely the first time around.”RELATED: Arrow’s Stephen Amell Joins Picket Lines After Controversial Strike Comments
