Actor Zachary Levi, known for his roles as superhero Shazam and Chuck on the popular tv series of the same name, joined Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK, Jr.) and Tulsi Gabbard at the Reclaim America Tour, where he endorsed Donald Trump for president. “Every single person, whether you’re a Democrat, whether you’re a Republican, whether you’re a Libertarian, an Independent, every single one of us is a child of God, every single one of us is deserving of being seen and heard and loved and valued,” he told the audience. Prior to endorsing Trump, Levi stated he had been a supporter of RFK, Jr. “In a perfect world, in whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby. But we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one. We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff, and we’re here to stop that,” he said.

Levi grew up in a conservative Christian home, but it was also one filled with abuse and mental health struggles. His faith would reach a crisis as he struggled with the trauma of his childhood. “I was crying out; literally like screaming and crying out to God, to help me understand what was going on with me. And I wasn’t getting any answers. I wasn’t getting anything of the things that I had previously in my life, feeling like I had gotten clarity and answers and vision from God. So it really, really rocked my world,” he told The Christian Post in 2022. Since receiving therapy, however, he has felt that God has blessed him. “But only because God was like, ‘Good now that you have done the thing, now I can give you the blessing. You would have self-destructed had I given you this blessing before you did the work.’ And that’s the work,” he said.

After the discussion with Gabbard and Kennedy, Levi acknowledged that by endorsing Donald Trump, he was committing “career suicide.” “When I came out and I said I was endorsing President Trump through my endorsement of Tulsi and Bobby, the messages that I received … 90 percent have actually been quite lovely and supportive, and I’ve really appreciated that. But I will say, though, within my industry, as you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very, very liberal town, and this very well could constitute career suicide.” Discussing Levi’s endorsement of Trump, Whoopi Goldberg criticized calling it “suicide.” “That’s not necessarily true. From the beginning of Hollywood, it’s always been a very right-leaning town, but I know you don’t know much about the Hollywood history, so let me school you. We are mixed, like America is, we’re mixed. We’re a mixed bunch and sometimes it may seem like there’s more Democrats and sometimes it seems like there’s more Republicans, but the truth of the matter is, very few people seem to bite it because they’re Republican. Jon Voight, who is working,” she said. Levi is set to appear in two films in 2025, including “The Unbreakable Boy,” a faith-based film that focuses on Levi’s character grappling with his son’s new diagnoses of brittle bone disease and autism.
