Dennis Rodman Attends Basketball Game With Kim Jong Un In North Korea: "You Have A Friend For Life' Says The Former NBA Star: Is An International Bromance Budding?

Dennis Rodman attended a basketball game with Kim Jong Un on Thursday in Pyongyang, North Korea's capital, media company VICE told the Associated Press.

"You have a friend for life," Rodman told Kim Jong Un, according to a delegation spokesman.

Dennis Rodman is in Pyongyang with a camera crew from VICE to film a documentary for HBO about North Korea. Three players from the professional Harlem Globetrotters exhibition team are also part of the VICE entourage.

At Thursday's exhibition game that reportedly featured two American basketball players on each team alongside the North Koreans, Rodman and Kim Jong Un were seated next to each other, with the former Chicago Bull getting rare access to the North Korean leader who does not typically rub elbows with Westerners.

VICE reports the two were chatting it up as they took in the basketball game.

Could there be a budding bromance between Michael Jordan's former teammate and North Korea's supreme leader?

The pair certainly would make the strangest buddy movie ever.

Come on Rodman, use your Hollywood connections. Get that movie made.
