He’s standing for what he believes in.
Zachary Levi, the actor best known for his role in “Shazam,” recently endorsed former President Donald Trump for the 2024 presidential race. Speaking at the Reclaim America Tour in Dearborn, Michigan, alongside figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Levi expressed his support for Trump, while emphasizing that all people, regardless of political affiliation, are “children of God” and deserving of love and respect. Levi, who is open about his Christian faith, acknowledged that this public stance could potentially harm his career, particularly in Hollywood, which he described as predominantly liberal.
During the event, Levi referenced his upbringing, mentioning how his parents, originally Kennedy Democrats who became Reagan Republicans, taught him to maintain a healthy skepticism of the government. While he expressed admiration for Kennedy as a candidate, Levi explained that in today’s polarized political climate, he believes Trump is the best option to address the nation’s challenges and lead it toward a better future. Levi’s comments also touched on the frustrations many Americans feel about the current political environment, which he described as being controlled by forces pushing the country in the wrong direction.
Levi also spoke about the response he’s received since making his political views known, saying that the majority of feedback has been supportive, though he admitted that his position may lead to difficulties within the entertainment industry. He reflected on how his stance may be seen as controversial in Hollywood, a city he described as particularly liberal and sometimes unforgiving toward those with differing political opinions.
This is not the first time Levi has shared his views on significant social and political issues. In the past, he voiced skepticism toward pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, criticizing the company in connection with the COVID-19 vaccine. He has also openly discussed his struggles with mental health, detailing how his experiences in Hollywood negatively affected him and contributed to feelings of isolation and spiritual doubt.
Despite these challenges, Levi has found strength in his Christian faith, which he credits with helping him through dark periods in his life. He now emphasizes the importance of self-worth and the belief that every person is loved unconditionally by God. Levi has been vocal about how his faith reshaped his perspective on life, giving him a sense of purpose and peace amid personal and professional struggles.
