James Cameron Calls Glenn Beck a ‘Fucking Asshole’
Pop Eater: And he should know.
The ‘Avatar’ director lashed out at FOX News’ increasingly influential star at a press conference supporting the DVD release of his hit film, but the mood got dark when he was asked about Beck. “Glenn Beck is a f*****g a**hole. I’ve met him. He called me the anti-Christ and not about ‘Avatar.’ He hadn’t even seen ‘Avatar’ yet. I don’t know if he has seen it.”
The famously blunt Oscar winner was likely referring to Beck’s reaction to his 2007 documentary ‘The Lost Tomb of Jesus,’ which casts doubt on the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Later, Cameron toned down the rhetoric while further discussing Beck: “I think, you know what, he may or may not be an a**hole, but he certainly is dangerous, and I’d love to have a dialog with him.”
When asked to expand on why he believes Beck is dangerous, he explained, “Because his ideas are poisonous.”
“I couldn’t believe when he was on CNN. I thought, what happened to CNN? Who is this guy? Who is this madman? And then, of course, he wound up on Fox News, which is where he belongs, I guess.”
