Ridley Scott has branded Trump a “nutcase” for the way he is dealing with the coronavirus outbreak.
As America overtakes China as the country most affected by the global pandemic, the film director was asked about his views on how world leaders are handling the situation.
The coronavirus crisis has caused cancellations and delays across Hollywood with Scott’s new film The Last Duel, starring Ben Affleck, Adam Driver and Jodie Comer, among to projects to halt production.
In January, Trump said of the sickness: “It’s going to disappear – one day, it’s like a miracle, it will disappear.”
