Paul Walter Hauser brought attention to the Jeffrey Epstein case during the “Resident Evil” premiere in Los Angeles on Tuesday night, wearing a distinctive pin on his black T-shirt.
The actor explained that the numbers displayed on the accessory correspond to the geographic coordinates of Zorro Ranch in New Mexico. Hauser noted that the property was formerly owned by Epstein and has since been shrouded in speculation after reports emerged that a church purchased it.
“It was at one point owned by Jeffrey Epstein,” Hauser said. “It’s shrouded in mystery, and then a church supposedly bought it, which is even more disconcerting, I think.”
The Oscar-nominated actor stated that his goal was to raise awareness regarding individuals involved in secretive misconduct who may need further public scrutiny. This gesture aligns with previous advocacy; earlier this year, Hauser criticized the lack of vocal support from Hollywood figures regarding the release of Epstein-related documents.
In February, Hauser posted on Instagram questioning why celebrities remained silent while files implicating lawyers, politicians, and entertainment industry members in severe crimes were released. He urged his peers to prioritize the protection of children over career concerns.
According to NPR, New Mexico officials launched investigations into the ranch in May, following allegations from accusers that they were abused at the location. Hauser’s attire also featured yellow text reading “Kubrick Didn’t Kill Himself,” which he described as a lighthearted reference to conspiracy theories surrounding the 1999 death of director Stanley Kubrick.
