On January 20, Donald Trump will again take office as President of the United States. The new head of state intends to return not only conservative politics, but also change the entertainment industry.
On Thursday, on his Truth Social platform, Trump abruptly announced film industry legends Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight as his “special ambassadors” to Hollywood.
For Mel Gibson, this destination came as a surprise.
“I saw this tweet at the same time as you,” Fox News and Entertainment Weekly quoted the actor as saying.
Previously, Gibson has repeatedly caused scandals with his anti-Semitic, racist and sexist statements.
However, he expressed his readiness to accept Trump’s offer.
As a citizen, I am obliged to offer any help and my experience. By the way, is there a chance that this post is connected with the embassy residence? – joked Gibson, who lost his home during the devastating fires in Los Angeles.
Republicans are rare in Hollywood. The industry is traditionally considered liberal, with most celebrities having supported Democrats for years. For example, during the November 2024 election, actors such as George Clooney and Barbra Streisand actively campaigned for Kamala Harris.
Trump is not popular among Hollywood stars. In addition to the lack of support, the future president complains about the deteriorating economic situation in the industry. According to him, during the presidency of Joe Biden, the American film industry lost its influence and moved a significant part of its business abroad.
With the help of his “special ambassadors” – Stallone, Gibson and Voight – Trump intends to reverse this trend. All three are cult figures in the world of cinema and, unlike most of their colleagues, represent conservative values. Their task is to strengthen the position of Republicans in the liberal fortress and represent their interests. According to Trump, Hollywood is waiting for a new “golden time.”
