Zachary Levi has no remorse over his support for Donald Trump and has felt “at peace” with his decision.
The Shazam actor appeared on The Megyn Kelly Show to discuss his new film, The Unbreakable Boy. He reflected on why it was important for him to openly endorse Trump.
“I felt peace because I knew that this was more important than saving my career,” Levi said. “I think we too often fall into these paradigms, these thought processes of self-preservation, and it is not good. We need to be wise and we want to survive and we want to live and flourish and all those things, but we can’t merely make decisions off of, ‘Well I hope nothing bad happens to me.’ You got to sacrifice.’”
Levi boarded the Trump train during a rally in Michigan in September 2024 after his preferred candidate, RFK Jr., dropped out of the race.
“What am I really afraid of at the end of the day? That I’m somehow going to lose jobs in an industry that I already believe is completely falling apart and that won’t even be creating jobs for me in a few years anyway?” he said. “Like come on. If I lose all of my acting career, and I hope I don’t, and so far I haven’t… But none of that matters. If the world goes off a cliff, what does it matter?”
The Chuck alum commended Trump for “doing what he said he was going to do,” adding, “And more than that, these are some of the things I was kind of even secretly hoping he was going to do because, damn it, we do deserve to know what’s going on.”
