Woody Allen, the actor and director who's been no stranger to controversy over the years, has done it again.
This time, Allen told a Spanish language newspaper that President Barack Obama should be given dictatorial powers, Fox News reported.
According to Fox, Allen said it "would be good if [Obama] could be a dictator for a few years because he could do a lot of good things quickly."
Allen, 75, told La Vanguardia newspaper that he's "pleased with Obama. I think he's brilliant. The Republican party should get out of his way and stop trying to hurt him."
Allen's latest remarks come on the heels of last week's reiteration of his support for filmmaker Roman Polanski, who remains under fire for a 1978 sex scandal.
