Actor Terence Stamp has launched an astonishing outburst about the amount of foreigners in London.

The 76-year-old actor, best known for playing General Zod in ‘Superman II’, told the Daily Mail that he was disappointed about the lack of English people in the capital.

“You see these mums wandering around with their prams and four out of five of them have these scarves wrapped around their heads,” he said. “I feel like it’s not London any more; not the one I used to know anyway.

“I do think a multicultural society can be a good thing, but when it’s at the cost of your own culture and history, then it’s gone too far and it would be very sad if London stopped being predominantly English.”

Stamp was nominated for a Best Supporting Actor for ‘Billy Budd’ in 1962 and became famous as the one of the iconic faces of that decade.

A native of London, he was born in Bow and raised in Plaistow, East London.

“When I grew up in East London everyone seemed to speak English, and now you can barely get by speaking our own language,” he said. “I don’t live in the East any more, but I absolutely love mangoes and so occasionally I go back there to buy these wonderful Alphonso mangoes from the market on Green Street. I’m lucky if I can buy one now at all because no one speaks English.

He added, “It’s changed so much in such a short space of time, that God knows what London will be like in another decade or so.”

Last year, Stamp starred in Tim Burton’s ‘Big Eyes’ and the pair are currently filming an adaptation of ‘Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children’.
