Gerry Adams Talking About Trampolining Naked With His Dog Needs To Be Heard To Be Believed

This is up there with the greatest interviews in Irish politics... Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams revealed a peculiar pastime that includes a trampoline, his dog and no clothes. Adams joined Newstalk's Sean Moncrieff in Drogheda's D Hotel on Friday afternoon where he was asked about his 'Twitter legend' status. Moncrieff selected a few of the Louth TD's most random tweets, including one that suggest Adams is a fan of trampolining.

I've had a busy beautiful morning. Trampolining from dawn. Peeling spuds. Listening 2 Joan Baez. Chopping turnip&carrots. Off 2 Mullingar. — Gerry Adams (@GerryAdamsSF) February 8, 2015

It wasn't long before the Adams began discussing his passion for the hobby and revealed, "yeah, I do it naked." "I don't do it with any great expertise, just the joy of it - the dog does it with me," he said laughing. "It saves me taking him for a walk. We just go out and bounce for a while. "The dog loves it. In fact, I caught the dog doing it on his own." Adams told the radio presenter that he would never be without a dog, after having one since the age of three.   "We trampoline when we get together, to make up for lost time," the 66-year-old continued. When questioned over whether the beloved pooch can do any tricks, Adams said: "I don't want to discuss it publicly - but yes." The Internet has responded to the trampolining revelations in the greatest way possible... (Click the picture to play).
