Our list of celebrities are a mixture of movie and TV stars who refused to remain quiet about showing their support for President-elect Donald Trump ahead of the election.
Zachary Levi
In September, “Shazam!” star Zachary Levi became one of the rare voices in Hollywood to endorse Trump, saying he believed the former president would “take back this country” and “make it great again,” as The Daily Wire reported.
Levi, who first supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president, ended up throwing all his support behind Trump when RFK dropped out of the race and backed the former president.

Speaking on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” the actor said while he hadn’t voted for Trump in the last two elections, he did think the then-former president did a “good job” — despite what Trump’s opponents said.
“For four years, the world didn’t blow up,” Levi said. “He didn’t turn into the Nazi fascist that everybody [said] he was going to be the first time around. We entered no more wars. Our economy was better. Our border was better.”
“Even if I don’t like all of his Trumpiness,” Levi said, that doesn’t change the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris “is not qualified in any way, shape, or form to be the Commander-in-Chief, the leader of the free world. Absolutely not.”
Dennis Quaid
“Reagan” star Dennis Quaid definitely made headlines when he appeared alongside President-elect Trump on the campaign trail in October in California, ahead of the election.

The 70-year-old actor took the stage and told the massive crowd of Trump supporters at Coachella he was voting for the former president, after previously telling Piers Morgan that he “was ready not to vote for Trump … but I saw a weaponization of our justice system.”
“You know, I’m an actor and I just had this movie come out that’s, it was a famous last name: Reagan. My favorite president of the 20th century,” Quaid said at the rally, per Vanity Fair.
“We were a nation in decline,” he added. “That’s what they told us. Ronald Reagan came along and said, no, we’re not a nation in decline. We’re going there. And we followed him. The same with Trump. With President Trump. My favorite president of the 21st century.”
The Daily Wire
Quaid previously joined Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro on his “Sunday Special” series to discuss what led him to take on the role, saying “Reagan was my favorite president.”
“I voted for Jimmy Carter in ’76. It was the first time I could vote, but then I voted for Reagan in ’80,” he added.
Drea de Matteo
“Sopranos” actress Drea de Matteo — who admitted she once suffered from “Trump derangement syndrome” — became an outspoken Trump supporter, The Daily Wire previously reported.
“Say what you want about Trump, and I understand that a lot of people have Trump Derangement Syndrome,” the HBO star said. “I was one of them. But people can change. And it’s not that Trump changed, I changed. And I did my research, and I paid more attention to what was going on.”
In July, the 52-year-old actress blasted liberals who celebrated the attempted assassination of Trump at his rally in Pennsylvania on July 13.

Speaking to Fox News, the actress and self-declared liberal admitted the hate and vitriol coming from the Left against Trump had surprised her, noting that she thought the party was all about “inclusivity” and “compassion.”
“Everybody has their right to their opinion, and they have freedom of speech, so here we are,” Matteo said. “But, again, I’m a liberal. I am a liberal who does not understand how the Left has become so rebellious, with not one undertone of peace, love, harmony, and compassion.”
“You’re supposed to be the party of inclusivity, of love, of peace,” she added. “And all of a sudden, these are the rioters. These are the mean-spirited folks out there. And I don’t understand that.”
Justine Bateman
Hollywood star and filmmaker Justine Bateman got everyone’s attention when she decided to deliver a brutal film critic’s take on the numerous meltdown videos all over social media after President-elect Trump’s victory.
In one post after another on X, the 58-year-old actress broke down the videos of Harris supporters melting down after Trump’s stunning victory, having some fun with them as she pointed out things like lighting and camera angles, even noting that using one’s car for their freakout video location has been “overused.”

Later in an interview with Fox News in November, the 58-year-old actress said during her appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime” that the election marked the end of the woke era, something she was definitely celebrating.
“The political correctness, the woke era is over because you need mob mentality momentum in order to keep that going,” Bateman told the host. “In order to threaten people if they are not thinking and talking the way you do.”
“To threaten their lives, threaten their careers, threaten their place in society,” she added. “You need that momentum in order to do that, and when Trump won [the] presidency again, that cut that momentum off. So, this whole woke era is over.”
Later, she talked about the “spiritual shift” she’s felt in the culture, saying there’s been a “stagnation” and that things “haven’t been moving forward” for the last four years or more.
“It started a little bit when Elon Musk bought Twitter and turned it into X,” Bateman said. “And it really changed when Donald Trump won his presidency. I can feel it. For the last four years … there’s been kind of a pressing down, limiting what people can say, and what happens, too, is you limit what can even occur in society.”
