Dennis Rodman’s relationship with Kim Jong Un is one of the weirder bromances we’ve witnessed.

So unsurprisingly, Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were eager to hear about what exactly bonds the North Korean leader and the NBA legend who was previously married to Carmen Electra.

Amid threats of nuclear war from North Korea against the United States, Dennis appeared on Good Morning Britain via satellite link to explain his friendship with Kim.

The 56-year-old told of how he visited North Korea in 2013 as Kim liked basketball and the Chicago Bulls, and the pair became firm friends.

Dennis said: ‘We hang out with each other all the time, we laugh, we do karaoke, we do cool stuff together. We ride horses, we go skiing.



‘My whole mission was to bring sports, bring connection, to North Korea. I’ve always said I’m not a politician, not at all. I just go over there to be an ambassador for sports.’

When asked by Piers what the dictator was really like in person, Dennis said: ‘Everytime I see him, he’s always calm, he’s always smiling. To me, in person, he’s just like anybody else to me. I’ve never seen anyone in my life with that much power.

‘I don’t love him, I just want to straighten things out to get everyone to get along together.’

Thanks to his time on Celebrity Apprentice, Rodman also knows US President Donald Trump – and reckons he and Kim could actually get along.

He said: ‘You know as well as I do, Donald can be a bit crazy sometimes. He loves to be cocky, he loves to be the man. I love Donald Trump. One day, if Donald can reach out and say “I’ll try to do something”… everyone is fighting each other.

‘To me, I think if the President even tries to reach out to Kim, there’s a great possibility that things could happen. If they have a mutual conversation and try to engage and start some dialogue, that could open a door a little bit.’

He added that he wasn’t defending all of Kim’s actions, saying: He has been passed a throne. The grandfather was worse than the father, and the father was worse than the Marshal today.’

Who knows, maybe Dennis Rodman is the key to preventing World War 3.
