Zachary Levi’s claims support now-elected Donald Trump DID NOT get him canceled

Actor Zachary Levi recently appeared on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast, where he spoke about endorsing Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election against Vice President Kamala Harris.

Upon asking if he thinks that the industry canceled him because he decided to support Trump at the election, he said NO. He further explained,

I have yet to see what the ultimate effects of all that are going to be. I already had multiple jobs that I was in the process of shooting or that I have yet to shoot, and none of those have been compromised.

Zachary Levi also noted that his projects are happening but mentioned that he still has to find out how things ultimately play out for him in the future. He added during the conversation that he has been busy filming and is yet to discuss the matter with his team. Levi replied that the team must have heard from people who would not want to work with me.

The actor was one of the few celebrities who had come out in support of Donald Trump and shared his view on his social media that there are plenty of messages from the people. He added that people are terrified to publicly say that they will vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in that way. (Via Variety)

Levi addressed the closeted Trump voters, stating that they can do whatever they want. He added that he’d never pressure any of his fans to vote for Donald Trump. Upon his appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, he said,

I am voting for Donald Trump and Bobby Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy, Elon Musk, and JD Vance.

The actor noted that Donald Trump and his peers and team are incredibly lovely human beings.

Laura Benanti is not a fan of her former Broadway co-star Zachary Levi

Upon her appearance on That’s a Gay Ass podcast, Levi’s former Broadway co-star Laura Benanti shared that she is not a fan of the actor. The two of them shared a stage in the second Broadway revival of the musical She Loves Me. She said,

I never liked him. Everyone was like, ‘He’s so great!’ And I was like, ‘No, he’s not. He’s sucking up all the f**king energy in this room. He wants to mansplain everybody’s part to them.

The actress further noted that the actor would suck everybody in with his dance party energy, which did not impress her at all. She also went on to slam the actor’s theory about the now-late actor Gavin Creel, who passed away in September after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer.

Levi made some controversial and wrong statements about Creel’s passing and stated that it was because of the side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Benanti said,

To use his memory for his political agenda and to watch him try to make himself cry until he had one single tear, which he did not wipe away, I was like, ‘F**k you forever’.

Benanti might not like her former co-star, and a lot of people might not agree with Levi’s political views, but it’s right when he says he’s booked.

The actor, according to IMDB, has about 7 upcoming projects, including The Unbreakable Boy, Not Without Hope, Sarah’s Oil, Hotel Tehran, and more. Levi’s schedule is packed more than an actor who has had a good and successful year.
