Actor Who Played Kim Jong-un ‘Pretty Sure’ Dictator Has Seen “The Interview”
Published at
“The Interview” – Sony/Columbia(LOS ANGELES) — Randall Park, the Fresh Off the Boat star who played North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un in Sony’s controversial Seth Rogen comedy The Interview says he’s got no proof of it, but he’s “pretty sure” the dictator has seen the movie.
The movie was temporarily shelved late last year after hackers reportedly representing the regime threatened theaters that were set to screen it. The Interview was later released digitally before it got a limited theatrical release.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live! Wednesday night, Kimmel asked the actor about what could have been Park’s toughest critic.
“Do you think he has seen this movie?” Kimmel queried.
“I have a feeling, yeah,” Park responded, smiling. “I’m pretty sure he has…No confirmation, but…I’m sure he’s probably interested in how he was depicted.”
“Wouldn’t it be funny if he didn’t know anything about it, after all this craziness?” Kimmel laughed. “He’s like, ‘I don’t know, I don’t care, I’m busy exterminating my relatives.'”
Fresh Off the Boat airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. Eastern time on ABC.
