‘Really Genuine’: Hollywood Star Praises Trump, Says Tinseltown Has Gone Too Far Left

Actor Dennis Quaid said his former party has left him behind and that Hollywood has swayed far to the Left, along with the rest of the Democrats.

The actor made the remarks during an appearance last week on “The Greg Laurie Show” podcast. 

“Things have gone so extremely, so far left right now. I saw a podcast — it was Bill Maher and Dana Carvey, and I’m forgetting the other guy’s name — but anyway, I think it was Dana Carvey [who] said, ‘I’ve told my friends in Hollywood I’m a Clinton Democrat, and some of them are calling me a Nazi now,’” Laurie suggested.

“You can’t do that,” Quaid replied, adding that these days, being a Clinton-era Democrat is the “same thing as being a neo-con, on the right side or whatever. What used to be, you can’t be anymore.”

The “Reagan” actor doesn’t consider himself a Republican but instead said, “I’m a common-sense independent,” who also leans “more conservative in my head.”

“I’m just for common sense, is really what I am,” Quaid added.

Laurie said he believed Trump was “very personable, incredibly funny, a good listener, and [a] surprisingly approachable person.”

Quaid agreed that the president is “surprisingly approachable and very funny. And really genuine. He wouldn’t be president if he wasn’t genuine. The people who voted for him, they know that he has their best interests at heart, that he is a genuine person.”

“I’ve never seen anybody with that kind of energy,” the actor went on. “People say that about me, but he’s really got a lot of energy.”

“We’re going through a spiritual revolution,” Quaid said later in the interview. “I’m not talking Republican and Democrat … but I am talking about those two coming together.”

Quaid made headlines in 2024 after starring in the biopic “Reagan” about the former Republican president, which was yet another film that had a vast disparity between audience score and critical reviews.

When urging fans to see “Reagan,” the actor said, “If you were born before 1985, you’ll be able to remember how great this country was. And if you were born after 1985, you can see how great this country still can be.”

“He was also my favorite president,” Quaid said just after the movie premiered.
