Zachary Levi, the star of the hit “Shazam!” franchise, has openly acknowledged feeling like an outsider in Hollywood because of his political beliefs, particularly his public endorsement of President Donald Trump. He revealed that some people in the industry prefer not to work with him following his political stance but remains undeterred by the backlash.
Levi explained that while his support for Trump has caused some professional challenges, it has also earned him respect from certain segments within the industry. Despite facing criticism prior to the 2024 presidential election, he maintains that many allies appreciate the risks he has taken by speaking out.
The actor clarified that his endorsement does not mean he agrees with every aspect of Trump’s personality or actions. He emphasized that many voters recognize imperfections in their chosen candidates and that his decision came after thoughtful consideration rather than blind loyalty.
Levi also revealed that many in Hollywood secretly supported Trump in the previous election but are too afraid to speak publicly. He has received private messages from colleagues expressing gratitude for his bravery in taking a public stand, encouraging others to be bold if they feel ready.

In a message to “closeted conservatives,” Levi urged them to be authentic and not let fear hold them back, stating that the Hollywood landscape is shifting rapidly.
