Among the many problems with the film, Novak shared concerns that the film would focus too much on the sexual side of his relationship with Sammy Davis, Jr., despite the fact that the couple had “a lot in common” apart from physical attraction.

“There’s no way it can’t be sexual because Sydney Sweeney looks great all the time,” Novak said. “He was completely wrong to play me.”

Sweeney’s representatives did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

“I don’t think the relationship was scandalous,” the 92-year-old actor told The Guardian last year.

“He’s someone I cared about a lot,” Novak added. “We had a lot in common, including the need to be accepted for who we are and what we do, rather than what we look like. But I’m concerned that they will make it all about sex.”

“He never wanted to get married at that time – to anyone.

“When I was a child, my first boyfriend was Mexican. He was an altar boy in my church. He was my first love. So, I never thought about race,” Novak said. “However, the studio was very angry about it. I refused because I didn’t believe that was right. Even though people felt a certain way, I also felt that people should change. And I felt that by seeing Sammy and Sammy seeing me, we can help people understand and accept any kind of interracial relationships.”

He continued, “I felt like I was helping people be more accepting of all races and all kinds of relationships. I felt like I was doing the right thing by doing that. I felt like Sammy and I were at the beginning of helping people understand that this is not wrong. A man is a man, no matter what color he is. A woman is a woman, no matter what color her skin is.”
