Whoopi Goldberg took a second to “school” Zachary Levi after the Shazam! star’s recent endorsement for Donald Trump in the upcoming US election.

“That’s not necessarily true,” the Oscar winner responded. “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.”

“Uh oh,” one of Whoopi’s co-hosts was heard uttering off-screen, as the anchor’s speech got underway.

Whoopi – one of only a handful of performers to land EGOT status over the course of her decades-long career – explained: “[In Hollywood] we are, like America is, a mixed bunch. And sometimes it may seem like there are 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.”

Pointing out that stars like Jon Voigt and Dennis Quaid are both “still working” (in fact, they’re both in films that are in cinemas now) after endorsing Trump, she added: “Stop that! It’s more BS, and it’s unnecessary.”

Zachary previously made an appearance at a Trump rally in Michigan over the weekend, saying that in a “perfect world” he’d have voted for independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who dropped out of the presidential race earlier in the year.

However, he added that he now “stands with” Trump in the 2024 election, claiming: “We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again.”
