(JTA) — Sandra Bullock’s estranged husband is seen in a US Weekly photo posing as Adolf Hitler, wearing a German soldier’s cap and giving a Heil Hitler salute.
The 2004 photo of Jesse James was taken before his marriage to Bullock and released this week amid the couple’s marital problems, which caused James to check into a rehabilitation clinic.
James’ attorney, Joe Yanny, told CNN that the Nazi hat was a gag gift from James’ Jewish godfather. James also lived for a month on a kibbutz in Israel, Yanny told CNN.
