A
day
after
criticising
Foxcatcher's
director,
Bennet
Miller,
wrestler
Mark
Schultz
apologised
to
the
makers.
Mark
Schultz
who
was
the
inspiration
behind
'Foxcatcher',
has
apologised
for
using
harsh
language
while
criticising
his
portrayal
in
the
film.
Mark,
whose
character
is
played
by
Channing
Tatum
in
the
movie,
however,
said
he
stands
by
his
criticism
of
the
movie
that
revolves
around
the
murder
of
his
wrestler
brother
Dave
by
his
coach
John
du
Pont.
Schultz
took
to
Facebook
on
Thursday,
January
1
to
say
he
was
sorry
for
his
words
for
director
Bennett
Miller.
"While
I
may
have
tweeted
out
of
anger,
I
in
no
way
regret
standing
up
for
myself,
nor
do
I
regret
calling
out
the
only
other
man
who
has
had
decision
making
power
concerning
my
image
and
legacy
these
past
years," Mark
wrote.
"I
apologise
for
the
harshness
of
my
language,
but
I
am
firm
in
where
I
stand.
I
will
gladly
go
to
any
lengths
to
protect
and
safeguard
the
integrity
and
truth
of
my
story,
my
life,
my
character
and
my
legacy.
If
that's
not
worth
fighting
over
while
I'm
still
alive,
I
don't
know
what
is,"
he
said.
Mark
is
unhappy
with
the
film's
suggestion
that
there
could
have
been
a
sexual
relationship
between
him
and
John
du
Pont,
who
died
in
jail
in
2010
while
serving
the
sentence
for
Dave's
murder.
"The
personalities
and
relationships
between
the
characters
in
the
film
are
primarily
fiction
and
somewhat
insulting.
Leaving
the
audience
with
a
feeling
that
somehow
there
could
have
been
a
sexual
relationship
between
duPont
and
I
is
a
sickening
and
insulting
lie,"
Mark
had
said.
Steve
Carrell
portrays
the
eccentric
millionaire
duPont
in
the
film,
which
is
creating
a
strong
Oscar
buzz.
