On Saturday, September 28, Zachary Levi, the actor best known for his role in Shazam!, publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump at an event in Michigan. Levi, who shared the stage with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, acknowledged the potential career risks of his support for Trump in Hollywood, a dominantly liberal industry.

During his speech, Levi stated, “We have two choices, and I believe Donald Trump, President Trump, is the man that can get us there.” He credited the influence of Gabbard and Kennedy in shaping his decision, adding, “He’s going to get us there because he’s going to have the backing and support and the wisdom of people like Robert Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.”

Following his endorsement, Levi disclosed that 90 percent of the messages he received were positive. Even with the expectation of some backlash within the industry, he expressed his appreciation for the encouraging feedback from his fans.

Prior to his endorsement of Trump, Levi had shown support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 race. However, after Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi felt the need to back Trump as the only feasible option to “take back this country.” Levi stated, “In a perfect world… perhaps I would have voted for Bobby,” but following Kennedy’s withdrawal, he felt compelled to endorse Trump.

Levi expressed serious concerns about the country’s current direction, suggesting it had been “hijacked”. His remarks echoed a wider disillusionment with government and institutional power, a sentiment shared by many conservatives, particularly Trump supporters. Despite being uncommon in the entertainment industry, Levi’s political perspectives are consistent with his public persona.

In the past, Levi has faced backlash for his forthright views, especially on public health and government oversight issues. In January 2023, he stirred controversy on social media when he retweeted a post questioning the reliability of Pfizer, the company responsible for one of the COVID-19 vaccines, and expressed his agreement.

During his speech in Michigan, Levi reiterated his mistrust of the pharmaceutical industry and mainstream media. He accused these institutions of poisoning and misleading Americans. He conveyed his frustration with the perceived manipulation through food, pharmaceuticals, and the media, warning citizens to remain vigilant.

Levi argued that the public is being poisoned and lied to, not just through the foods we consume or the pharmaceuticals we’re prescribed, but also through the media content we absorb. He believes that Americans are being misled on multiple levels.

In his concluding remarks, Levi urged his followers to avoid engaging in political hatred and negativity. “Do not be baited into their hate,” he cautioned, noting that such tactics only serve to further polarize the nation. He advised his audience to practice patience, grace, and forgiveness as the 2024 election approaches.

As one of the few high-profile individuals in the entertainment industry to openly support Trump, Levi’s political stance sets him apart. The impact of his endorsement on his career is yet to be seen, but Levi remains resolute in his decision, encouraging others to vote as per their beliefs.
