Video: Dennis Rodman weeps over death threats regarding Kim Jong-un friendship

Former NBA player Dennis Rodman has revealed that he has received a number of death threats since striking a friendship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

The 53-year-old is releasing a documentary called Dennis Rodman's Big Bang in Pyongyang, which follows the sportsman's controversial trip to North Korea last year, when he took members of the Harlem Globetrotters with him to play in exhibition basketball matches.

During a clip, which was released by Deadline Hollywood, Rodman discusses the death threats that he has received and begs for someone to 'shoot him'.

The exhibition matches were played in honour of Kim Jong-un's birthday.
