Kraft bombs his audition

New England Patriots owner and Israel Football League benefactor Robert Kraft laughed off his appearance in an embarrassing video that went viral on Wednesday, saying he was merely trying to help a friend audition for a movie.

The video shows Kraft awkwardly dancing, reading an obscene line and play fighting, along with a bikini-clad Ricki Noel Lander — a 32-year-old actress whom Kraft, 71, has described in the past as a friend.

“I tried to help Ricki prepare an audition tape for an upcoming Vince Vaughn/Owen Wilson comedy by reading Wilson’s lines,” Kraft said in an official statement. “I never intended that it would be made public and I regret that it has… I am going to stick to my day job.”
