Shazam! star Zachary Levi has endorsed Donald Trump as president. At the Michigan rally on Saturday, September 28, 2024, the DC actor made a surprise appearance and name-dropped his Shazam! role to endorse the former POTUS.
He started his speech by saying, 'I just want to give you a little context about why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these various things," and gave some context about growing up in a Christian conservative family. He also shared that he stands with Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, and everyone else supporting Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, fans online have something to say about the actor joining the bandwagon of Trump supporters.
"What tf happened to this guy? Wow," a Reddit user commented.
Other fans called out the "sad" state of Levi endorsing Trump at the event, with someone else alluding to his hero character in the 2019 movie for DC that has now turned into a villain.
"Christ that's sad. I thought for a minute there he was going to speak some intelligence and then he nosedived at record pace," a Reddit user wrote.
"The Hero has lived long enough to become the villain," a Reddit user said.
"The truth is every villain wants to be a hero until they realize they can't. So they take off the veil and show their true colors," another Reddit user quipped.
That said, other netizens have more favorable opinions about Zachary Levi going public with his allegiance to Trump. Others appreciated his lengthy explanation of why he's backing Trump's presidential campaign.
"Zachary Levi is in touch with reality. He knows what [is] going on in the country," an X user commented.
"See, I usually HATE hearing about celeb endorsements. They never really give a reason why. THIS IS HOW YOU ENDORSE. I 100% relate to Levi and love his explanation as to why he's endorsing Trump. I was fully ready to vote for RFK Jr, but when he joined up with Trump, h*ll yeah," another X user chimed in.
Zachary Levi backs Donald Trump for the presidency because he's "the man" to make America great again
Zachary Levi made a surprise appearance at Donald Trump's rally on Saturday, and he explained why he was rallying to support the twice-impeached president for the next election. He said:
"We're here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again."
As to the person who can help achieve those things, the Harold and the Purple Crayon actor explained:
"I do believe, of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, Donald Trump, President Trump is the man to get us there."
He further said that Trump is the man who's "gonna get us there" because he has the support, backing, wisdom, knowledge, and "the fight that exists in Robert Kennedy Jr. and former representative Tulsi Gabbard."
Zachary Levi publicly made his political allegiance toward Trump clear after his first pick, Kennedy Jr., suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump. The actor called Kennedy Jr. "the real deal," and he would have voted for him in a perfect world.
