Star Trek actor Zachary Quinto was highly amused after essentially being told that Britain’s new Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is a ‘bigger fan’ of Star Wars than his own sci-fi series.
The Hollywood actor, who famously played Spock in JJ Abrams’ movie reboot of Star Trek, appeared on BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg to discuss his new West End theatre show Best of Enemies, which will see him play Gore Vidal.
Vidal was a bisexual American writer and best known for his essays which challenged social and cultural sexual norms.
Kuenssberg probed Quinto for his thoughts on the inclusivity of the UK having its first British-Indian PM by making a tenuous link to Mr Sunak being a sci-fi fan.
