It looks like Jerry Seinfeld is not a fan of the upcoming Royal Wedding. The actor had a few choice words for the upcoming event and even criticized the Royal Family in an interview.
The Daily Mail is reporting that Seinfeld was in London promoting his upcoming stand-up performance and was being interviewed on the UK TV show 'Daybreak' when the interviewer asked Seinfeld if he, like many Americans, was looking forward to the Royal Wedding on April 29.
The comedian sarcastically replied, "Yes, I'm very excited."
He continued, "Well it's a circus act, it's an absurd act. You know, it's a dress-up. It's a classic English thing of let's play dress-up. Let's pretend that these are special people. OK, we'll all pretend that -- that's what theater is."
Seinfeld went on to say, "That's why the British have the greatest theater in the world. They love to dress up and they love to play pretend."
The 56-year-old comedian even took some shots at the Royal Family, "And that's what the Royal Family is -- it's a huge game of pretend. These aren't special people -- its fake outfits, fake phoney hats and gowns."
He concluded by saying, "It's fantastic. We don't have anything like that."
The co-host of 'Daybreak' Adrian Chiles appeared very offended by Seinfeld's opinion and remarked on-air, "I'll join in on any of that stuff [criticism of the wedding], if it's a Brit doing it. But I can't bear Americans criticizing the Royal family."
Chiles also added, "He'll be doing that show from the Tower of London, never mind the O2 [the arena where Seinfeld is due to perform]."
