Hollywood actor Vince Vaughn surprised fans with a visit to the Oval Office on Good Friday as the White House shared a smiling picture of him with President Trump.
Vaughn has quietly emerged as a conservative in recent years and has popped up at several Trump events, with Friday’s picture with Trump his clearest show of support yet for the president’s MAGA movement.
Although Vaughn has not publicly said he supports Trump, the image divided fans as some said they were disappointed to see him with the Republican, despite the actor previously showing support at one of Trump’s celebratory inauguration balls in January.
‘Vince is a conservative?’ one viewer said on X, with another branding it a ‘shame’ because they ‘used to love Vince Vaughn.’
Others took to mocking the White House’s caption of ‘White House Crashers’ – a joke on Vaughn’s 2005 hit Wedding Crashers – with memes branding them the ‘Stock Market Crashers.
However, while some fans were less than impressed, others cheered the actor’s presence in the White House, which comes as several Hollywood actors have broken ranks with their liberal industry and gone MAGA in recent times.
The photo was taken after Vaughn attended a prayer service at the U.S. Capitol, and Reverend Patrick Mahoney, the Director of the Christian Defense Coalition, shared a selfie with Vaughn from Friday, saying the actor was with him at the US Capitol before he “crashed the White House with President Trump… just sayin’.”
Vaughn has not yet commented on his picture with Trump, but he has been seen schmoozing with Trump insiders at his inauguration ball in January and was also pictured with Tucker Carlson the day before the inauguration.
In 2020, Vaughn was sharply criticized when he was seen shaking Trump’s hand at a baseball game, but he defended the move, saying it did not imply an endorsement of Trump or his policies.
‘In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to; I’ve met Nancy Pelosi and was cordial to her as well,’ he said of the Democratic Speaker of the House, to the LA Times.
Vaughn added that he greeted the Democratic strategist James Carville, who had a cameo in Wedding Crashers, at the same game, and said, ‘It was the only time I’ve ever met him. We said hello. He was very personable,’ adding with a laugh, ‘I didn’t get into policies.’
The True Detective star continued, ascribing much of the outrage to a minority of people online, saying, ‘I think people are more charged than ever about these things,’ but adding, ‘I don’t think most people take that stuff as seriously as the small percentage that’s making noise about it.’
Vaughn has explained that his views veer toward libertarianism, saying, ‘I definitely am a believer more in allowing individuals to make choices. So I think that drugs should be legal and people should have guns. But I realized that you have different cultures that would feel strongly,’ and adding, ‘I’d rather say let people make their choices, and they can make different choices and have the consequences of their choices.’
The visit to the Oval Office has sparked a mixed reaction from fans, with some expressing disappointment and others cheering Vaughn’s presence in the White House.
Some viewers poked fun at Vaughn’s picture with Trump, linking it to his 2005 blockbuster hit Wedding Crashers, while others thought it was ‘awesome’ to see Vaughn with Trump in the White House years after facing backlash for merely sitting and chatting with Trump at the baseball game.
In conclusion, Vince Vaughn’s visit to the Oval Office has sparked a mixed reaction from fans, with some expressing disappointment and others cheering his presence in the White House. Vaughn has quietly emerged as a conservative in recent years and has popped up at several Trump events, but he has not publicly stated his support for Trump.
