Christoph Waltz slams Brexit as "abysmal stupidity"

"Django Unchained" star Christoph Waltz didn't mince words when it came to discussing his thoughts on the Brexit vote -- or the Leave campaign's "head rat," Nigel Farage.

Let's just say Waltz doesn't think it was a good idea for the U.K. to vote to leave the European Union.

"Of course the head rat would leave the sinking ship," Waltz said when asked by Sky News about Farage's resignation. "It's inevitable, you know. They tried to dress it up as a heroic exit -- no, it's conceding defeat."

"It's putting the tail between their legs and -- as rats do -- leave the sinking ship, leave the mess for others to clean up and retreat into some profitable other business," Waltz said. "That shows you how despicable these people are that they can't even stand up for what they caused."

When asked the rather obvious question of whether he was against the idea of Britain leaving the E.U., Waltz made his feelings clearly known.

"Oh, 100 percent. A little too emotionally because I can't comprehend the abysmal stupidity," he said.
