Trump Picks Hollywood Stars as Industry Boosters

President-elect Donald Trump chose actors Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson, and Jon Voight as his "Special Ambassadors to Hollywood. " His aim? To help the movie business bounce back after COVID and strike issues. The trio, who publicly praise Trump, will serve as his "eyes and ears" in the entertainment industry. Trump believes their suggestions will revive Tinseltown, making it "bigger, better, and stronger than ever. " This announcement comes just days before his presidential inauguration. Stallone, 78, likens Trump to George Washington, while Gibson, 69, criticizes Vice President Kamala Harris. Voight, 86, sees Trump as the best president since Abraham Lincoln. Their actual roles as ambassadors remain unclear, and it's uncertain if they'll attend Trump's inauguration. Overall, the TV and movie business has seen a 26% drop in productions since 2021. With box offices struggling post-COVID and strikes taking a toll, Trump hopes these "special envoys" will lead Hollywood to a golden era once more.
