Oscar-winning actor Robert De Niro has hit out at the US presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying he wants to punch the politician in his face. The 73-year-old star's remarks feature in a video produced by Anonymous Content, which has been making a series of short interviews for an initiative called #VoteYourFuture, reported Variety.
"I'd like to punch him (Trump) in the face," he said in the clip. In the video, De Niro can also be heard calling Trump a "blatantly stupid" and "punk" artist.
"He's a punk, he's a dog, he's a pig. He's a con, a bulls--t artist, a mutt. He doesn't know what he's talking about, doesn't do his homework, doesn't care, thinks he's gaming society, doesn't pay his taxes. He's an idiot. Colin Powell said it best: He's a national disaster. He's an embarrassment to this country. It makes me so angry that this country has gotten to this point that this fool, this bozo, has wound up where he has," De Niro said.
Watch:
Academy award-winning actor Jon Voight took to social media to defend Trump and criticise Niro for his remarks about the real estate mogul. Voight, who has supported several Republican politicians over the years, is Angelina Jolie's father. On Twitter he said that Trump's remarks to Access Hollywood host Billy Bush in 2005 "were not as damaging as De Niro's ugly rant. Trump's words did not hurt anyone," reported Fox News.
"I am so ashamed of my fellow actor Bobby DeNiro's rant against Donald Trump. What foul words he used against a presidential nominee, who has worked harder then any other man I know in the past year and a half to get a good message to the American people," Voight, 77, tweeted. "I don't know of too many men who haven't expressed some sort of similar sexual terms toward women, especially in their younger years."
"Donald Trump's words were not as damaging as Robert DeNiro's ugly rant. Trump's words did not hurt anyone. Can you imagine if any Republican said words like Robert DeNiro used - against Hilary Clinton or Barack Obama? All hell would break loose," he wrote.
He further posted, "I am calling for all Trump supporters to express their outrage and anger against DeNiro and all of the Republican turncoats cont'd against Trump. Let Donald Trump know we are completely behind him, and may God give him the strength to continue his calling."
