Actor Zachary Levi, known for his role in “Shazam!”, has recently been in the spotlight due to his political endorsements and the potential implications for his career. Initially supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 presidential race, Levi shifted his endorsement to Donald Trump following Kennedy’s withdrawal. At a Michigan rally, Levi expressed concerns that this endorsement might be considered “career suicide” in Hollywood, a predominantly liberal industry.
However, in a subsequent interview with Bill Maher on the “Club Random” podcast, Levi refuted claims that his support for Trump had negatively impacted his career. He stated that he had not lost any roles or faced cancellations due to his political stance, mentioning that ongoing and upcoming projects remained unaffected.
Levi’s political views have sparked discussions among his peers. Whoopi Goldberg addressed his concerns on “The View,” challenging the notion that Hollywood is exclusively liberal and citing examples of conservative actors who continue to work steadily.
Beyond his political endorsements, Levi has faced criticism for his comments on various topics, including the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite these controversies, he maintains that his career is “still full steam ahead,” with no professional repercussions reported due to his political views.
