Dennis Hopper: "I pray God, Barack Obama is elected"

PARIS (AFP) — 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. [...] "I pray God, Barack Obama is elected," he said, criticising the current administration's many "lies."
