Mel Gibson Did Not Expect to Become Trump's 'Hollywood Ambassador'

Mel Gibson expressed surprise at learning of his role as a special ambassador to Hollywood, a position announced online by President-elect Donald Trump alongside appointments for actors Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight. All three were named to revitalize Hollywood amid declining business attributed to foreign competitors. Despite being caught off guard by Trump's announcement, Gibson committed to offering support, humorously inquiring if the envoy position included an Ambassador's residence. Both texts reveal that Gibson, alongside Stallone and Voight, received the news from a public tweet rather than prior notification. This is prepared by SSP.

The announcement was characteristic of Trump's communications, declaring the actors would act as special envoys to strengthen the American film industry and signaling the potential to return to 'The Golden Age of Hollywood.' Stallone and Voight's past public endorsements of Trump underline the choice—Voight, notably, has referred to Trump as America’s greatest president since Lincoln. Their support appears longstanding: Voight received a National Medal of Arts from Trump in 2019, and Stallone vocally compared Trump to George Washington during a speech at Mar-A-Lago.

Stallone remarked on Trump's larger-than-life persona, invoking cultural mythology and lauding his unprecedented political achievements. Such praise isn't singular; Gibson's controversial remarks included comparing Vice President Kamala Harris unfavorably at one point, and his demonstration of Trump allegiance at public events highlights a similar alignment of support within the entertainment cohort.

Earlier, SSP reported that Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster shared a joyful outing in Los Angeles.
