8 Times Sir David Attenborough Was A Total Badass
7. When He Dropped Some Truth On Obama
"I have been a huge admirer of your work for a very long time" says the President of the United States, leader of the free world and possibly the most powerful man on the planet.
Damn right he's a huge admirer. Even a man as powerful as the POTUS can't fail to recognise Attenborough's incredible contribution to the understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
During the interview (the full version of which can be found on The White House's official Youtube channel) both Attenborough and Obama treats the other as a peer, discussing the future of the environment as equals.
The two men cover Sir David's career, natural history and environmentalism and Attenborough repeatedly drops some serious knowledge about the importance of respecting our planet.
And, of course, Obama can barely contain a wide smile at the sound of David Attenborough's iconic voice, he's only human after all.
