Jordan Peele: Get Out and Us director reveals why he finds rabbits scary
Jordan Peele, Oscar-winning director of horror hit Get Out, has returned with Us, another psychological thriller with parallels to real life. During a brief trip to the UK he spoke to BBC News about doppelgangers, divisions in America... and rabbits.
It's Friday morning in a London hotel suite, and Oscar-winning film-maker Jordan Peele is impersonating a rabbit.
It's not a famous rabbit - we're not talking Bugs or Peter here. But his imitation of one of the bunnies that appear in Us, his much-touted follow-up to 2017's Get Out, is pretty uncanny all the same.
"I make cameos in my films as dying animals," reveals the 41-year-old, who follows up his chilling leporine screech with the agonised low moan he gave an expiring deer in his previous directorial effort.
Things have clearly taken a strange turn - though it's not half as strange as the one that awaits both the protagonists of his latest offering and the audiences who see it.
