President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday that actors Jon Voight, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone would be “special ambassadors” in Hollywood, California.
“They will serve as my special envoys in an effort to bring Hollywood, which has lost a lot of business over the past four years to foreign countries, BACK – BIGGER, BETTER AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!” Trump wrote in an article on Truth Social.
Voight is a longtime Trump supporter and supported the president-elect’s first bid in 2016. In 2019, Trump awarded Voight the National Medal of Arts.
Gibson told TMZ he supported Trump in October 2024 and insulted Vice President Kamala Harris’ intelligence. Most recently, he aired conspiracy theories about the California wildfires on Fox News after his house burned down.
Stallone endorsed Trump late in the 2024 campaign and introduced the president-elect at the America First Policy Institute gala in November, calling Trump the “second George Washington” and a “truly legendary character.”
In his Thursday message, Trump wrote: “These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will do what they suggest. It will once again be, like the United States of America itself, the golden age of Hollywood! »
