Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight to become Trump's Hollywood ambassadors

A video went viral of Mel Gibson apparently saluting Donald Trump at the star-studded UFC 264 fight between Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirer on July 10, 2021. However, it wasn't all that surprising as Gibson is famous for his conservative views. His fondness for Trump seemed to be alive and well two years later as they were spotted chatting at another UFC fight in July 2023. Roger Stone, Trump’s longtime friend and former political adviser, tweeted a photo of himself, Trump, and the Hollywood star in conversation during the event.

A photo went viral on Twitter of a man who looks eerily similar to Chuck Norris at the Capitol riots.

The fact remains, however, that Norris previously endorsed Trump, and has been a proud Republican for years. He also famously spoke out against President Obama's reelection in 2012, and voted against California Proposition 8, which makes same-sex marriage legal, in 2008.

Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight to become Trump's Hollywood ambassadors

US President-elect Donald Trump has many famous supporters

17/01/25 | StarsInsider

CELEBRITY Politicians

On January 15, President-elect Donald Trump made an announcement on Truth Social that he wants to name Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone as “Special Ambassadors” to Hollywood. Trump indicated that he hopes to bring back “The Golden Age of Hollywood” in order to revive the industry.

In his post, Trump wrote, “They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!”

Gibson said he was surprised by Trump’s announcement regarding his new role, having heard about it at the same time as everyone else. However, the star responded that he is ready to help.

Trump is, to say the least, a very divisive figure. But while actors, musicians, and other celebs are, by and large, a liberal bunch, there are always a few who go against the grain. Take a look through this gallery to read about some of the celebrities who are supporters of Trump.
