The actor was along with his co-star Mahershala Ali at a Q&A session for the potential Oscar nominee, which deals with issues such as racism and racial segregation.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Mortensen apologized for his choice of words and said: “Last night I participated in a question and answer session moderated by Elvis Mitchell following a screening of Green Book in Los Angeles. To point out that many people used the N-word casually at the time the film is set, which is 1962, I used the full word.”
