David Lee Roth

Japanese short film

David Lee Roth has been touring as the singer of Van Halen, but the hard rock howler has also found the time to reveal an absolutely insane project: a Japanese short film in which he plays an assassin.

The clip shows few youngsters picking a fight with Roth and asking, "Who does he think he is?" Good question. In any case, the bizarre clip culminates with the singer removing his shirt, pulling a gun and stealing the guys' carton of strawberry milk.

Roth apparently wrote the film himself. Judging by the filename on YouTube — DLRmovietrailer.mov — this appears to be a preview of a longer film, so we'll have to see if this makes a little more sense in context.
