WATCH: Christoph Waltz Slam Nigel Farage Following Decision to Step Down
In Inglourious Basterds Christoph Waltz carried out a career defining performance as one of the most malicious on-screen villains in cinematic history – but Waltz has now callled out his most despised real-life figure, UKIP former leader,Nigel Farage.
Nigel Farage has announced that he is stepping down as the UKIP leader, following Britain's decision to leave the EU. It is a decision which has left Waltz seething.
Following on from the Brexit result, Waltz was impressively outspoken in his views about Britain's decision to leave the EU. Waltz is currently doing the promotional rounds for his latest film The Legend of Tarzan and was asked in an interview about his feelings on Farage's decision to step down as the UKIP leader. The news which was relatively fresh at the time saw Waltz deliver an impassioned answer. Visibly angry, he denounced Farage as 'the Head Rat'. Usually eloquent and composed, on this occasion Waltz struggled to contain his emotion – but his ire was well placed as he railed against the 'abysmal stupidity' of it all.
Waltz stars in The Legend of Tarzan which is out in cinemas this Friday 8.
