John Lydon - the Public Image Ltd. and Sex Pistols frontman - sheds his punk image to praise Brexit and defend Donald Trump.

Speaking to Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid on Good Morning Britain today, the butter spokesman told Brexiteers that he's "with them".

"The working class have spoke, and I’m one of them, and I’m with them. And there it is," Lydon declared.

"What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist, and that’s completely not true," he added of US President Donald Trump. "There’s many, many problems with him as a human being, but he’s not that, and there just might be a chance something good will come out of that situation, because he terrifies politicians. And this is joy to behold... dare I say, [he's] a possible friend."

As well all this, the now-US citizen slapped praise on Nigel Farage, applauding the UKIP man's spat with Bob Geldof: "I wanted to shake his hand..."

In other news, Lydon recently revealed that he doesn't want punk anthem "God Save The Queen" used in poor taste when Elizabeth II passes.
