Dennis Rodman Tears Up Talking North Korea, Reveals Death Threats

Dennis Rodman got lots of attention in the past year for his trips to North Korea and odd relationship with Kim Jong-un. In a new clip from the documentary Dennis Rodman’s Big Bang In Pyongyang, Rodman gets emotional talking about that trip and the responses to it.

Rodman stops talking and just cries silently a bit as he talks about North Korea. He reveals he’s gotten some death threats and says lots of people called him out on his ignorance of what happens in North Korea. Nevertheless, he touts how no one more famous than he is travels to places like North Korea to do what he does.

Rodman very famously went ballistic on CNN when he was in North Korea, and his adventures with Kim Jong-un inspired a movie that’s currently in the works.

You can watch the clip below, via Deadline:
