Robin Williams invites Oz PM to strip club

Comedian Robin Williams invited the politician to a strip club to smooth out their spat.

New York: Comedian Robin Williams has apologised to Australia`s Prime Minister Kevin Rudd for mocking the country`s citizens and invited the politician to a strip club to smooth out their spat.The Oscar-winning actor caused a stir after branding Australians "English rednecks" during a recent appearance on a US talk show.

The Australian premiere had taken offence to the comment, suggesting that the `Mrs. Doubtfire` star should "go and spend a bit of time in Alabama" but Williams has laughed off the feud with a sly reference to Rudd`s infamous visit to an exotic dance club in 2003, reported New York Daily News "Every time I`ve been in Australia it`s been wonderful. Mr Rudd, I apologise. I would like to modify my terminology and say `English good old boy`. If the term redneck is offencive, forgive me, sir. Please let me come back to Australia without a cavity search, and if not, I`d love to go to a strip club with you in New York," he said in an interview to a radio show. Rudd caused a stir when it emerged in 2007 that he had visited a strip joint in the Big Apple four years previously. PTI
