Donald Trump named Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, and Jon Voight as Hollywood ambassadors in an effort to rejuvenate the industry. Gibson, unaware of the appointment, discovered the news through social media, calling it a surprising but dutiful opportunity.
It would appear that Mel Gibson was unaware that he was going to be one of the three MAGA actors the President of the United States had selected to serve as "special ambassadors" to Hollywood.
The statement was made on Thursday afternoon alongside the selection of candidates for other administrative positions. The president-elect, who has appeared in cameo roles in hundreds of films and television shows, made the announcement by himself. Initially, it was not immediately evident what the responsibilities entailed.
Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone are going to be Special Ambassadors to Hollywood, California, which is a wonderful but highly troubled area, according to a post made by Trump via Truth Social.
For the goal of returning Hollywood, which has lost a significant amount of business to foreign countries over the course of the past four years, back, they will serve as Special Envoys to Trump.
He went on to say that these three exceptionally brilliant individuals will serve as the president's eyes and ears, and he pledged to carry out the recommendations that they made.
"It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!"
Each of the three stars paid a visit to Trump's residence at Mar-a-Lago in recent memories.
Gibson revealed in a statement to Variety (va The Raw Story) that he learnt about the job through social media. However, it appears that Trump did not bother to inform Gibson about the role.
Gibson asserts that he received the tweet at the same moment as everyone else and that he was equally surprised once he saw it. In spite of this, the actor promised to go ahead and answer the phone.
After that, he went on to add that it is his responsibility as a citizen to offer any assistance and insight that he can, and then he inquired as to whether or not there is any possibility that the post comes with a residence for an ambassador.
Los Angeles, the heart of the entertainment industry, is presently fighting to control terrible wildfires that have burned thousands of homes and buildings and left many businesses trying to rebuild.
Upwards of $250 billion in damages have been projected.
