Ronan nutty...yep. Oh, he's an intelligent, accomplished young man...book smart, BUT....not too street smart. Airing your family business on Twitter (Father's Day & Golden Globe) is not the smartest move. Social Media has brought down too many to name.

If airing family business on Twitter or other forms of social media means someone is nutty, probably most of this country is nutty.

You're right.

There's no question about his accomplishments, however the tweet attributed to him was ill-advised to say the least.

It won't hurt him. Most young people have no idea who Woody Allen is.

Woody's movies are brilliant. The music he uses is inspired.

His movies are brilliant. I think he's a bit of a creep , but he is beyond talented. Actors take minimal wages to work in his films. I've heard that many "big-name" actors are thrilled to work for almost nothing to have the chance to work with Woody.

I think the allegations involving Dylan go back to when she was seven.

If that's not correct, maybe someone else can clear that up.

That's my understanding as well. This was written up in a Vanity Fair article last October, accusations that Woody still denies.

Uh, they do if they're into films at all which many are. My youngest and his friends love WA. As for Ronan, he's 26 and that's about all you can say. Keeping this war of words going against his father (?) seems to be something he and his mother and sibs are obsessed with. Woody probably is flattered by the attention.

Why isn't Ronan waging war on Mia's brother? John pled guilty to the charge of abusing 2 boys!

Oh, there's definitely a lot more that can be said of Ronan Farrow.

Ronan Farrow is 26 but he has accomplished a lot. He is an American activist, journalist, lawyer and former U.S. government advisor.

He graduated from Bard College at age 15, and later graduated from Yale law school, becoming a member of the New York Bar.

From 2001 to 2009, he was a UNICEF Spokesperson for Youth, acting as an 'advocate' for children and women caught up in the ongoing crisis in Sudan's Darfur region and assisting in fundraising and addressing United Nations affiliated groups in the United States.

During his time at Yale Law School, Farrow interned at the law firm Davis Polk etc. and in the office of the chief counsel at the US States House Committee on Foreign Affairs, focusing on international human rights law.

In 2009 Farrow joined the present administration with his appointment as Special Adviser for Humanitarian and NGO Affairs in the Office of the Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

In 2011 Farrow was appointed Secretary of State Hillary's Special Adviser for Global Youth Issues and Director of the State Department's Office of Global Youth Issues.

After departing government, Farrow began a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford.

And his creds go on...
