DETROIT, MICHIGAN – Hollywood actor Zachary Levi recently made headlines by throwing his support behind former President Donald Trump’s potential 2024 White House run. The “Shazam!” star endorsed Trump during an event held in Michigan that also featured former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and ex-Democrat congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.
Levi, known for his roles as Shazam in DC movies and in the TV series “Chuck,” expressed his initial support for RFK Jr. in the upcoming presidential election. However, after Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi shifted his endorsement to Trump, citing the need to “take back this country” and make it great and healthy again.
Growing up in a Christian conservative family, Levi shared that his parents instilled in him a healthy level of distrust of the government. He described Kennedy as the “real deal” and the kind of politician he believed in supporting as a presidential candidate, expressing his commitment to stand with him and others backing President Trump.
Levi’s endorsement of Trump sparked controversy, especially after he expressed his distrust of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer on social media. The actor’s comments generated backlash from some left-leaning accounts, accusing him of supporting “antivax propaganda.”
Despite the criticism, Levi stands by his decision to endorse Trump, believing that out of the two choices available, the former president is the one who can lead the country in the right direction. The actor’s bold move to publicly support Trump has ignited discussions and debates within the entertainment industry and beyond.
As Election Day approaches, Levi’s endorsement adds a unique perspective to the political landscape, showcasing how individuals in the entertainment world can influence and shape public discourse. The actor’s decision to stand with Trump reflects a broader trend of celebrities and influencers using their platforms to engage in political discussions and activism. In a highly divided political climate, Levi’s endorsement serves as a reminder of the impact that public figures can have on shaping public opinion.
