With his distinctive dress sense and questionable parenting skills, Austrian fashion icon Bruno has set the movie-world alight with controversy recently.
Last month, Total Film sat down with him to disuss his new movie, the best (and worst) dressed stars in Hollywood and the political rammifications of anti-gay marriage ballot Proposition 8. Here's what he had to say.
So Brüno, do you have a message for Total Film’s gay community?
Be grateful zat you’re schniedelmeisters – remember, although it’s a minority, zere are lots of guys out zere who are straight – as many as one in 10 in parts of Northern England, I’ve been told.
Zese guys have never known ze joy of an überraschen shtupworst in ze schmutziger ausgang – zey don’t need to suffer heterophobia on top of zat. You are a reporter for Österreichischer Jungen-Rundfunk (Austrian Boys’ Broadcasting).
For our readers who may not know the station, who is your equivalent on British television?
Do you know, ich am really quite a shy guy, I don’t really like talking about myself – as ich have made very clear in all three of mein autobiographies, so I don’t really feel comfortable comparing meinself to other people.
Although ich am better looking, younger und more successful, you could compare me to Russell Brand – partly because ich am really witty and vear GRAZY clothes, but mainly because ich blew Andrew Sachs’ grandson in a hot tub at Amanda Holden’s puppy christening.
Austria is famous for Hitler, cellars and putting anti-freeze in white wine in 1985.
What are the good points?
Zese are good points! Let’s not forget zat Hitler vas responsible for probably ze most stylish uniform of ze past 500 years (apart from the Air Malaysia air stewards’ ones).
Even today, each year Vienna has a Fashion Week – zere’s alzo a Vienna Fascism Week, vhich is similar, just less schwartz models. Heather Mills goes to both of zem.
Und don’t knock ze millions of mein countrymen who follow ze Austrian Dream – ‘get a job, find a dungeon und raise a family in it’. Ich only discovered ze joys of being chained to a rack in a dungeon und shtupped senseless in my late teens – zat to me is a form of abuse!
As for ze anti-freeze in ze wine, anyone who doesn’t drink champagne or appletinis deserves to be poisoned.
