British pop star Elton John launched an expletive-laden tirade against the press in Cannes late on Saturday while presenting an award to a young actor during the annual film festival. At a ceremony held by luxury jeweler Chopard, everything seemed to be going smoothly enough as John presented the Chopard Trophy to young Canadian actor Kevin Zegers, who costarred in the film Transamerica with Felicity Huffman.
"He [Zegers] is only 21 years old, already he showed incredible talent and maturity," said John, wearing dark glasses and accompanied by actress Elizabeth Hurley. "I sincerely believe he will be a huge star and a great actor for many, many years to come."
Then, as photographers called out during his address, he added: "If you saw Transamerica... I'm talking...you fuckwit, fucking photographers you should be shot, you should be all shot. Thank you." After handing the award to a smiling Zegers, he added: "They are a nightmare."
John, who is 59, is no stranger to strong language. Most recently, viewers complained when he swore on The Paul O'Grady Show on British television. (Reuters)
