The Kung Fu Panda actor said he was ‘blindsided’ by Tenacious D bandmate Kyle Gass’ remarks making light of the assassination attempt.
American comedy-rock duo Tenacious D, formed by actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass, suspended the rest of its Australian tour after comments made by Gass over the assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump.
A video widely shared on social media from the concert in Sydney on Sunday showed Gass being presented with a birthday cake and Black urging him to make a wish. Gass then seemed to say “don’t miss Trump next time” before blowing out the candles.
Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, which the Federal Bureau of Investigation is probing as an assassination attempt.
