    Brian Cox, who played Lecter in the 1986 film “Manhunter,” commented to Deadline in an interview last year regarding Trump: “How the f–k can this country vote for such a f–king a----le?”

      How did they decide which letters to censor? Especially for “a----le”. Why the “l” but not the “h” or “o”?

    And if you read the article, it is yet another lie. This man is simply not capable of not lying.

        Right, but the article even gave Trump the benefit of the doubt that he meant an actor that has played Hannibal. The answer was still no. Anthony Hopkins is apolitical, and no other actor who has played the character said it either(at least one called him an asshole, in fact).

    Anything that trump “boasts” is either entirely untrue, unreal, or just batshit insane and should be dismissed.

    Hypothesis: He confused noted Trump fan and Lebaron driver, Jon Voigt, for Anthony Hopkins.

              Definitely not a professor of Spanish if they don’t know what “porque no” means 😄

            And “porque no” means “why not?”. Spanish is funny like that.

              It does not. “¿Por qué no?” means “Why not?” whereas “Porque no” means “Because not.” The spelling is similar, but the lack of a space changes the meaning.

                  Cool, I can do that too.

                  Are you really trusting an AI over an actual speaker?

                  Garbage in, garbage out. You asked it to translate ungrammatical Spanish and it gave you a translation anyway, probably because lots of people accidentally write “por qué” as “porque”. It’s still wrong, though.

      And the only time I can see Mads Mikkelsen saying anything about Trump, he seems rather indifferent to him.

    Trump’s supporters are probably saying that Lecter is now their favourite actor.

    Hannibal wouldn’t even eat him, and the rude are normally his favorite meal.
