Trump names Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson as ‘special ambassadors’ to Hollywood

In a recent announcement, President-elect Donald Trump designated actors Jon Voight, Sylvester Stallone, and Mel Gibson as “specialized envoys” for the entertainment industry in Hollywood.

Trump announced that these three individuals will serve as his personal representatives, gathering firsthand insights about the entertainment industry to help rebuild Hollywood in a way that is even more dynamic, superior, and robust than its previous state.

In a recent post on my Truth Social platform, I expressed that these three extraordinarily gifted individuals will serve as my guides, helping me navigate through their insights. Their advice is invaluable, and I am eager to put it into action. As for Hollywood, I see its potential for greatness, just like our own nation at one time. I am confident that, together, we can revive the “Golden Age” of this industry!

From the job posting, it wasn’t entirely clear what specifics were involved with this new role or how the selected candidates would manage to resume manufacturing from abroad.

Three actors – Voight, Stallone, and Gibson – have openly shown their backing of Trump. Notably, Voight addressed Trump’s inauguration celebrations during his first term, while Stallone dubbed him as the “second George Washington” at a gala event held at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. In contrast to these positive associations, Gibson faced a multi-year Hollywood exile following derogatory comments about Jewish people during a 2006 DUI incident in Malibu. He subsequently apologized for his actions and returned to the industry in 2016, directing the film “Hacksaw Ridge,” which garnered an Academy Award nomination for best picture.

Over the past few years, Hollywood has been grappling with a series of difficulties. The initial blow was the pandemic, followed by two labor strikes in 2023, and reduced production. In an attempt to counter these issues, Governor Gavin Newsom, known for his frequent criticisms of Trump, has suggested enhancing California’s film and television tax incentive program. Advocates argue that this could attract back the ‘runaway production’ – films and shows produced in other states or countries – to California once more.
