“It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California. 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!” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
“These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!” the POTUS added.
When asked about the development, Penn made it clear that he wasn’t keen on engaging with the appointment of these high-profile figures in Hollywood. “Look, clown shows can do great damage but I’m not very interested in them,” the ‘Milk’ star said, The Express reported.
