Dennis Rodman and Kim Jong Un
Dennis Rodman was an integral part of the iconic Chicago Bulls of the 90s. Having helped Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan immensely during their championship years, there was no doubt that Dennis had to be there in the Last Dance documentary. However, it wasn’t a pleasant time for the director as the Chicago Bulls legend had decided his own ways to go about it.
Dennis Rodman is a very eccentric man and it sounds like he is not any easier when it comes to an interview as well. To those who are not aware, Rodman was an integral part of the Detroit Pistons, who bullied their way past Michael Jordan, Bulls. After watching him rebound and defend, MJ desperately wanted him alongside him. As things stand, Jordan’s bet had great rewards, as Rodman went onto bully every scorer in order to secure Bulls’ long-list silverwares.
Why did Dennis Rodman kept talking about Kim Jung Un?
Now, ‘The Last Dance’ Director Jason Hehir said that interviewing Rodman was like talking to a “feral cat.” “Dennis Rodman not looking in the same place, he’s got those big shades on, every other sentence was going back to Kim Jong Un and how he’s going to be in history books,” Hehir revealed.
Aside from that, Rodman’s initial reaction to being interviewed wasn’t too easy to deal with either. “We’re at the London West Hollywood [hotel] and he shows up two hours late, and I’m in the lobby and my a– is hurting because I’ve been sitting on the same bench for two hours waiting for this guy,” Hehir explained. “He gets out of the car, walks over, I felt like a ghost he walked straight past me.”
“He’s like, ‘10 hours [for this documentary], huh?’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He’s like, ‘Alright, I’ll give you 10 minutes,’” Hehir added on. “Every page of questions I have [for him to answer] is an hour. I have 11 pages for this guy and he’s saying 10 minutes.”
