Hulk Hogan’s 2024 Trump endorsement turned just a few heads in Hollywood.
It didn’t recommend a cultural shift or permit different stars to do the identical sans penalties. Zachary Levi’s subsequent Trump endorsement turned extra heads.
The “Chuck” alum was coming off two field workplace disappointments (“Harold and the Purple Crayon,” “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”). Going MAGA wasn’t going to assist his job prospects. He admitted as a lot on the time.
Sylvester Stallone’s post-election embrace of the forty fifth and forty seventh president felt greater and extra surprising.
Now, two extra outstanding names have defied Hollywood groupthink. These are nonetheless remoted incidences, however the extra they pile up, the extra free will stars will take pleasure in.
That’s an excellent factor, in fact.
Veteran Hollywood producer Brian Grazer’s title is connected to a number of the largest movies over the previous 30 years.
- “Apollo 13”
- “A Lovely Thoughts”
- “Splash”
- “Kindergarten Cop”
- “The Nutty Professor”
- “Frost/Nixon”
A brand new FOX Nation docuseries caught up with the 73-year-old Grazer, a longtime Democratic donor, and realized one thing surprising. Grazer voted for Trump in 2024. He made the confession in “Artwork of the Surge,” admitting he contemplated whether or not the transfer may result in his cancellation.
Keep in mind, the Blacklist 2.0 is alive and properly, at the very least for now.
Grazer referenced President Joe Biden’s “hidden” decline as a part of his rationale for the choice.
It’s nonetheless an indication that some are prepared to buck the trade’s groupthink and make their very own choices. Even in public.
Particularly in public.
The identical is true for Tom Felton, greatest recognized for taking part in Draco Malfoy within the “Harry Potter” movies. His “Potter” co-stars have slammed creator J.Ok. Rowling, whose literary world made them wealthy and well-known, for rejecting parts of the trans neighborhood’s platform.
Extra not too long ago, Rowling has excoriated those that need trans ladies to compete in opposition to organic ladies in sports activities.
“For some supposedly form and enlightened individuals, evidently a person punching a lady within the face is an indication of progress. Their contempt for girls’s sport and security is shameful.” 🎯 by @jo_bartosch https://t.co/FtESqYffMp

The actor is bringing the position again by way of Broadway’s “Harry Potter and the Cursed Little one.” He strolled the pink carpet over the weekend and refused to play by the foundations relating to Rowling.
The Legacy Media and the Left, however we repeat ourselves, detest her.
When requested if requested if the controversy across the creator’s views on gender id have an effect on his work, the star replied: “No, I can’t say it does. I’m probably not that attuned to it… I’ve not seen something convey the world collectively greater than Potter. She’s chargeable for that, so I’m extremely grateful.”
None of this implies a collective sea change in thought inside movie star circles. The Resistance 2.0 is in full swing after a sluggish begin. Stars nonetheless threat lots by defying the progressive narrative and most will savage Rowling, President Trump or any right-leaning determine.
Nonetheless, the extra instances stars converse their minds with out worrying in regards to the penalties, the extra artists shall be free to assume for themselves.
