Trump says Hollywood needs help, names Gibson, Voight and Stallone as special ambassadors
Special envoys are typically chosen to respond to troubled hotspots like the Middle East, not California
Donald Trump wants to make Hollywood “bigger, better and stronger” and has cast Mel Gibson, Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone as stars of what he is calling his “Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California”.
On Wednesday, the president-elect announced on his social media site that the three actors would be his eyes and ears to the moviemaking town.
“It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!” he wrote on Truth Social.
He also called the trio special envoys. Special ambassadors and envoys are typically chosen to respond to troubled hotspots like the Middle East, not California.
Gibson said in a statement that he got the news “at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised. Nevertheless, I heed the call. My duty as a citizen is to give any help and insight I can”.
