Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) actor Sean Gunn has come out swinging at Bob Iger, as has Fran Drescher, who has called Bob Iger’s comments “terribly repugnant and out of touch, positively tone-deaf.” The former ‘Nanny’ actress continued, “There he is, sitting in his designer clothes and just got on his private jet at the billionaire’s camp, telling us we’re unrealistic when he’s making $78,000 a day.”
