Actor Zachary Levi, known for his roles in “Chuck” and “Shazam!,” has publicly endorsed President Donald Trump, revealing that numerous Hollywood colleagues secretly share his political stance but fear professional repercussions. In a recent interview with Variety, Levi disclosed that many industry peers privately expressed gratitude for his openness, admitting they too support Trump but are hesitant to voice it due to potential career risks.
Levi recounted receiving messages from unnamed individuals who thanked him for taking a stand. He advised them to trust in God and act according to their convictions, emphasizing that each person’s journey is unique. He acknowledged that his political views have led some in the industry to avoid working with him, a consequence he anticipated when making his endorsement.
In October, Levi made headlines with an Instagram Live video urging “closeted conservatives and closeted Trump voters” in Hollywood to come forward. He praised Trump’s first term, highlighting the absence of new wars, a stronger economy, and improved border security. Levi contrasted this with his criticism of Vice President Kamala Harris, whom he deemed unqualified to lead the nation.
Levi’s revelations shed light on the undercurrent of conservative support within Hollywood, challenging the industry’s predominantly liberal narrative. His boldness may inspire others in the entertainment sector to express their political beliefs openly, despite potential backlash.
