Rhys Ifans has said it would be a “total disaster” for the world if Donald Trump became US president.
The Welsh actor and musician described the controversy surrounding the Republican candidate as “unbelievable”, and said if he won it would be to the detriment of various people including NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Rhys, 49, appears in Oliver Stone’s new film Snowden, which tells the story of how the former NSA analyst leaked details of mass government surveillance in 2013.
Speaking at a screening of the movie at the London Film Festival, Rhys was asked if he thought a Trump triumph would be bad news for Mr Snowden who remains in exile in Russia.
“Well I think a Trump presidency, period, will mean a total disaster, not just for Edward Snowden, for women, for ethnic minorities, and for the world at large,” he said.
