Brian May, 72, believed he was chatting on the phone to climate activist Greta Thunberg and her father Svante when he slammed POTUS for his “not moral” practises. Unluckily he actually was on the receiving end of a prank by Russian hoaxers Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov, who recently stitched up Prince Harry.
It’s horrible
Brian May
The pranksters duped Brian into revealing his true thoughts on Donald Trump, as they spoke about Greta visiting the US to meet with the president.
They added that the US leader is a keen fox hunter, who uses guns to hunt prey.
Brian replied: “It’s horrible, it doesn’t belong in this century, it’s not moral.”
Fake Greta interrupted: “He’s a horrible man!”

It is unclear when the conversation between Brian and the hoaxers took place, but the release of the footage comes after the guitarist suffered a major health set back.
Brian was hospitalised last month following a heart attack after a separate gardening injury caused him to collapse.
Since his return home from the hospital, the rock legend has been focusing on recuperating and told fans it has been a slow process in regular social media updates.
Elsewhere in the prank, Brian agreed to work with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on animal rights activism.
Fake Greta suggested dressing Meghan in a fox outfit and “hunting” her down, which prompted giggles from the star.
Brian responded: “Wow does she like this idea?”
The pranksters proceeded to coax Brian to open up on Meghan and Harry’s bid for “independence”.
He answered: “It’s wonderful. A good feeling about Harry and Meghan.”
