Inbetweeners star James Buckley jokes Europe is a 'f***ing s**thole' and 'you can't drink the water'

Actor added a disclaimer during his latest podcast episode that he was being 'stupid and flippant'

Inbetweeners star James Buckley published a podcast in which he joked about visiting countries in Europe and branded it a “f***ing s**thole”.

“I’m on edge the whole time,” he said in an episode of Complete Load of Podcast titled “Deathtrap Holidays”. “I think I’m gonna break my neck at anytime. It’s a f***ing s**thole, the lot of it. [Cab drivers] are scary, the roads are made out of stones, you’ve got walls that are collapsing... I’m not into it man. Especially when you’ve got two little kids.”

“I don’t wanna talk about politics,” he said, “but there’s a whole Brexit thing going on at the moment, lot of people are upset that we’re leaving the EU. I’m sure there’s more to it, but whenever I go to Spain or Greece or whatever I’m like... let’s just leave this. Look at it. You can’t drink the water, you can’t flush paper down the toilets. What are you doing? Why are we sticking around?”

The actor threw in a disclaimer in which he said he was being “stupid and flippant for the purposes of newspapers watching”.

Buckley and his friend went onto talk about their recent holidays to Sardinia and Greece. In the same podcast, he also said he thought women should stop shaving their body hair because he was sick of his wife moaning about having to shave all the time.

“Nowadays ladies are obsessed with any kind of hair that isn’t on their head, it’s got to go,” he said. “They complain about it as well, it’s just like, I don’t expect you to do that, I don’t make any effort in my appearance.”

He said it was “ironic” that women worry about their experience because “men don’t give a s**t”.
