George Clooney, a well-known actor, has shared his thoughts on how political power transformed Donald Trump. He once had a friendly relationship with Trump before he became president. Clooney, now 64, mentioned that Trump used to reach out to him often and even tried to help him get medical care. They would occasionally meet up at social spots. Clooney described Trump as a "big goofball" back then, but he noticed a significant change in Trump's behavior after he entered politics.
While Clooney has been critical of Trump, other celebrities have shown their support. Kid Rock, a famous musician, expressed his enthusiasm for Trump's leadership. He felt that Trump's presidency marked a new beginning for the country. Kid Rock also joked that Hollywood stars were slowly warming up to Trump, comparing it to people cautiously entering the water.
Carrie Underwood, a popular country singer, performed at Trump's inauguration. She expressed her pride in being part of the historic event. Similarly, country star Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany have publicly supported Trump on several occasions.
Before starting his second term, Trump appointed three celebrity envoys to boost business in Hollywood. He named Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as special ambassadors. Trump's goal was to revive Hollywood's economy, which he believed had suffered due to foreign competition. He expressed confidence that these three actors would help bring Hollywood back to its former glory.
