Tarantino had labelled Dano the 'weakest actor in SAG' and 'weak sauce' regarding his performance in the 2007 film There Will Be Blood.
The Pulp Fiction director made these remarks on Brett Easton Ellis' podcast, stating Dano's acting prevented There Will Be Blood from ranking higher on his list of best 21st-century films.
Dano stated he was 'incredibly grateful that the world spoke up for me so I didn’t have to' after the backlash against Tarantino.
Toni Collette, Dano's co-star in Little Miss Sunshine, fiercely defended him, suggesting Tarantino 'must’ve been high' when he made the comments.
