Jerry Seinfeld called royal wedding absurd and a circus act.
Jerry Seinfeld squarely attacked the pomp and circumstance surrounding the upcoming nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton
Seinfeld was asked by an interviewer for Britain’s ITV “Daybreak,” if he was looking forward to the royal wedding.
“Yes, I’m very excited,” he answered sarcastically. “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," he said. "OK, we’ll all pretend that – that’s what theater is.”
“That’s why the British have the greatest theater in the world. They love to dress up and they love to play pretend. And that’s what the Royal Family is—it’s a huge game of pretend. These aren’t special people—it’s fake outfits, fake phony hats and gowns.”
Seinfeld, sensing that he was insulting the interviewer and perhaps all of England, backpedaled a little bit. “It’s fantastic," he hedged. "We don’t have anything like that.”
