Kim Jong-un hooked on theme tunes to Rocky and Dallas and orders personal ‘girl band’ to play them for hours on end, reveals pal Dennis Rodman
The former NBA All-Star has a special connection to North Korea having visited six times since 2013
POTTY dictator Kim Jong-un is obsessed with the theme tunes to Rocky and Dallas and gets his personal 'girl band' to play them for hours on end, reveals big pal Dennis Rodman.
The controversial 6ft 7ins basketball legend - a regular visitor to the rogue state of North Korea - claims his unlikely companion is completely misunderstood and bizarrely has a love of many things American.
And despite Kim's constant threats to nuke his enemies, Rodman claims the North Korean leader told him: "I don't want to bomb anyone."
Rodman adeded: "He jokes and loves playing basketball, table tennis, pool. They love American '80s music. They do karaoke.
"He has this 13-piece girls' band with violins...He loves The Doors and Jimi Hendrix... When I first went, the live band only played two songs for four hours: the theme songs from Rocky and Dallas."
Talking about Kim's controversial nuclear programme, Rodman said Kim told him he only has them for self defence.
Rodman said: "He's saying the reason why they have the nuclear bombs is because they know that Americans think they can take over.
"He says, "I don't want to bomb anyone. But we keep our nuclear weapons because we're such a small country - that's the only way we can defend ourselves".
"They just want people in America and the government to know they don't hate Americans. They want to work with Americans."
Rodman became unlikely pals with Kim as the communist leader is said to be obsessed with the Chicago Bulls basketball team.
Rodman has visited the country six times since 2013 and appears to be very close with Kim, who holds the title of Supreme Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
