Whoopi Goldberg claims Hollywood is right-leaning after Shazam actor Zachary Levi said endorsing Donald Trump for president could tank his career.
Whoopi Goldberg claims Hollywood is right-leaning after Shazam actor Zachary Levi said endorsing Donald Trump for president could tank his career.
On Tuesday, Goldberg, 68, played the clip of Levi officially announcing that he is team MAGA and immediately disagreed with his statement.
While hosting Team Trumps Reclaim America Tour on Saturday, Levi, 44, revealed he will be voting for the former president in the upcoming election before introducing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to the stage.
During the Michigan rally, he told Gabbard that his decision could constitute career suicide for himself.
As you can probably imagine Hollywood is a very very liberal town and this very well could constitute career suicide, Levi said.
In response, Whoopi said: That’s not necessarily true. From the beginning of Hollywood, there have been — it’s always been a very right-leaning town, but I know you don’t know much about the Hollywood history, so let me school you.

We are, like America is, were mixed. Were a mixed bunch and sometimes it may seem like theres more Democrats and sometimes it seems like theres more Republicans, but the truth of the matter is very few people seem to bite it because theyre Republican, the Sister Act star continued.
She added that Levis statement that Hollywood would punish him for being Republican is more BS and its unnecessary.
Jon Voight, who is working. Dennis Quaid, who is working. People are working. Stop that! It’s more BS and it’s unnecessary.
Midnight Cowboy star Jon Voight, the 85-year-old father of Angelina Jolie, has supported Trump since 2016 and even spoke at the former presidents inauguration in January 2017. He has endorsed Trump once again in 2024.

In May, Quaid, 70, said he plans to vote for Trump in November because Joe Bidens weaponization of the justice system forced him to swing to the right.
Quaid, a two-time Golden Globe nominee, is currently starring in a biopic about Ronald Reagan, where he stars as the late president.
Voight is also playing a supporting role in Reagan and in Francis Ford Coppolas Megalopolis.
Over the weekend, Levi revealed that his first pick for president was RFK Jr., but after he dropped out of the race, he said that with the two options left Trump is the man that can get us there.
This year, I found Bobby Kennedy, and I thought, man this guy, this guys it, he said.
And in a perfect world, whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby, but we dont live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one.
He continued: We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff. And were here to stop that, right?
The crowd started cheering for the Hollywood star as he used Trumps coined phrase: We are going to make America great again!
And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump, because I do believe that of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump, is the man that can get us there, Levi said.

He added that Trump will get America there because he has the backing and the support and the wisdom and the knowledge, and the fight that RFK and US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard have.
Despite endorsing Trump now, back in 2020, Levi openly shared how he wasnt a fan of the Republican.
I am no fan or supporter of Trump, and I find his behavior to be vulgar, callous, narcissistic, and lacking empathy.
And while I’m not a Conservative, I know many who backed 45 not because they liked him, but because he was the only candidate they felt cared about their needs, he previously tweeted.
Levi has always taken a stance in politics as he previously shared his skepticism with vaccines and criticized the SAG-AFTRA strike.
