Dennis Hopper praying for Obama victory

Dennis Hopper, the US actor-director perhaps best known for the 1969 road-movie "Easy Rider", is praying for victory by Barack Obama in next month's elections, he said on Monday.

"I voted for Bush, father and son, but this time I'll vote for Obama," he told journalists at the opening of a show on his life and work at the Paris cinematheque.

Hopper is to be handed France's order of Commander of Arts and Letters by the culture minister later Monday.

"I was the first person in my family to have been Republican," he added. "For most of my life I wasn't on the left."

"I pray God, Barack Obama is elected," he said, criticising the current administration's many "lies."

The exhibition on his life includes his films as well as paintings and photographs, and works from his own art collection, including pieces by Andre Basquiat, Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg and Roy Lichtenstein.

Up is down, down is up...

Welcome to crazy town...

I can't understand his love for Mccain. Tis unnatural. then again, voight can be, too.

:crazy:

Of course this is the man who made the decision to be in "Speed" and "Super Mario Brothers"

Seriously!

Dennis should pray to get a job in a decent movie instead.

:wow:

He seems to be that particular type of mindless voter who just likes to go along with the winner. And when people like that are leaning toward Obama, that's a really good sign.

Come on you aren't going to take it with ya.

Don

the acid he dropped in "Easy Rider" finally wore off. He could use that excuse. It would explain the "Super Mario Brothers" thing, at least...:crazy:

even gone to far for him! :wow:

What is it with conservatives named Dennis? I can think of at least three...and all of them have careers in the tank...
