John Legend has reportedly tried to cast actors to play Donald Trump supporters in his new music video - with the specification that they should be overweight.

The singer, who supported Hillary Clinton in the US general election, posted a listing on Casting Networks in L.A. according to TMZ, which said he was making a music video with a protest narrative.

The listing said he wanted 8 white men and women, 30-65 years old, "preferably out of shape" to play Trump supporters.
