Considering John Legend met his wife Chrissy Teigen when she starred in one of his videos, his latest casting call might not be exactly what you expect. 

The singer and actor has put out the call for older, overweight Americans to be cast as Donald Trump supporters in an upcoming music video, according to a report.

"White men and women, 30-65 years old, preferably out of shape," Legend's team wrote in an advertisement for Casting Networks, reports TMZ.

He also wants eight black men and women aged 18-35 to play Black Lives Matter protesters, along with 10 young, blonde, white males ages 18-35, presumably to play alt-right protesters ... with "very short hair or short on sides, long on top".

Legend is also on the hunt for one white and one Hispanic female to share a kiss while a protest carries on around them. The casting sheet says, "We want to show that there is no segregation in love. But just two human beings of any race or colour."

In a recent interview, Legend labelled Trump "an embarrassment to the country", while Teigen celebrated being blocked on Twitter by the former Celebrity Apprentice host.
