Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson is also one of the top conservatives in Hollywood, much of which he ascribes to his strong Catholic faith. Gibson is a registered Republican and has spoken at the commencement ceremonies at the Christian college Liberty University. Gibson also famously rolled his eyes at Meryl Streep’s politically charged speech at the 2018 Golden Globe awards. Gibson’s career in Hollywood was almost destroyed when he made anti-Semitic remarks to a police officer after he was arrested for a DUI in 2006. Gibson was additionally called racist after a secretly-taped phone call with his ex-girlfriend was released where the actor suggested that if she was “raped by a pack of ni**ers,” she would be to blame.
Ben Stiller
The “Night at the Museum” and “Zoolander” star has donated tens of thousands of dollars to Democrat candidates, including $25,000 to President Obama’s 2008 campaign. He’s been outspoken in his criticism of President Trump, especially with regard to immigration and refugee policies. For his support of refugees around the world, the UN Refugee Agency has named him a Goodwill Ambassador. The comedian, who has always incorporated impersonations in his comedy routine, has also appeared on SNL as Michael Cohen, President Trump’s former lawyer who is currently embroiled in multiple court cases.
Owen Wilson
Wilson likes Donald Trump and said during the campaign, “So here’s somebody who’s not following that script. It’s like when Charlie Sheen was doing that stuff — Like, wow! He’s answering a question completely honestly and in an entertaining way.” Owen Wilson is what you would certainly call “quiet” about his political views. However, he is known to surround himself with Hollywood conservatives like Vince Vaughn. Wilson tried to attend the Young Republicans Conference in Washington DC, but his friend, Vince Vaughn, wasn’t allowed to enter.
