Chris Smalling poses in 'suicide vest'
MANCHESTER United and England star Chris Smalling was last night branded a “disgrace” for dressing as a SUICIDE BOMBER.
He has apologised for an "insensitive decision" after appearing to attend a fancy dress party as a suicide bomber.
A
photograph of Smalling in his fancy dress, which his management company
said was taken at a private party in his home, was on the front page of
Thursday's editions of the Sun.
It
shows the England international with items looking like a mock circuit
board and mobile phone around his chest, and cables leading up his body.
Also on his body are bottles of Jagermeister and cans of Red Bull,
while he is also wearing an Arab kaffiyeh head dress.
Smalling's
management group said the outfit was an elaborate pun on the popular
'Jagerbomb' which is a blend of those two drinks.
"Chris and his
girlfriend hosted a fancy dress party to celebrate Christmas and their
belated birthdays with close friends in the assumed privacy of his own
home," Wasserman Media Group said in a statement.
"He dressed in a
costume consisting of empty bottles of Jagermesiter and cans of Red Bull
strapped to his chest in an attempted comedy play on the popular
'Jagerbomb drink'.
"Although he fully accepts in hindsight it was
an ill-thought out and insensitive decision, absolutely no harm was
intended whatsoever and he apologises for any offence caused."
