Will Ferrell’s’ Ronald Reagan dementia comedy is disrespectful to my father, says former president’s son
Michael Reagan, son of former US President Ronald Reagan, has attacked actor Will Ferrell, who is set to star in and produce a new comedy about Reagan’s second term in office – a period during which the head of state suffered from Alzheimer's.
In the film, titled Reagan, an intern must convince the ailing politician that he is an actor, playing the US president.
In a series of Twitter posts Michael Reagan, who at 71 is the eldest living child of Ronald and wife Nancy, criticised the concept behind the film.
“What an Outrag....Alzheimers is not joke...It kills..You should be ashamed all of you [SIC]” he wrote.
