Of course, Sully did nothing of the sort...
Agreed, and as already mentioned, that sentence from the Guardian article was referring to "Sully" the movie, and not Sully the man. (In fact, that same sentence also refers to Sully the man, and as "a hero who needed no defending"!)
I copy and pasted it verbatim - the Guardian's copy editors or whoever's responsible didn't properly distinguish that noun with the proper punctuation or italicized font.
But I should have added the quotation marks to
Sully at the beginning of that sentence when I posted it here - I apologize.
