Donald Trump has named Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone as his special ambassadors for Hollywood
New York: So, Donald Trump just announced that Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone are his new “special ambassadors” for Hollywood. Can you believe it? Gibson said he was surprised to hear the news, just like everyone else. But he’s ready to step up and help out.
Trump wants to make Hollywood “bigger, better, and stronger.” He’s calling these guys his eyes and ears in the film industry. He even said it’s going to be like the Golden Age of Hollywood again. Sounds ambitious, right?
Gibson joked about needing an ambassador’s residence since he lost his home in a fire. The film industry has been struggling lately, especially with the pandemic and recent strikes. Production is down quite a bit, and it’s been tough for many in the business.
In fact, productions in the Los Angeles area are at their lowest since 2020. Governor Newsom is even trying to boost California’s film tax credits to attract more productions. Other cities are doing the same to pull in filmmakers.
It’s still unclear what exactly these three will do to help bring productions back. Representatives for Voight and Stallone haven’t commented yet. But it’s interesting to see Trump picking actors from the past, especially since he was a big name in the tabloids back in the day.
Stallone is a regular at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago and even introduced him at a gala. He made a big speech comparing Trump to George Washington, which is quite the statement! Meanwhile, Gibson’s had a rocky reputation since his past controversies, but he’s still working in Hollywood.
Voight has been a long-time Trump supporter, calling him one of the greatest presidents ever. It’s a wild mix of Hollywood and politics, and it’ll be interesting to see how this all plays out.
