Dennis Quaid Thinks Reagan Is ‘Like Muhammad Ali’
One of many insights into the presidential biopic that “wasn’t meant to be political.”
The trailer teases John Hinckley Jr.’s assassination attempt as a major part of the film, so it’s hard not to draw parallels to this current moment in politics. Today host Craig Melvin asked Quaid about releasing the movie during an election year as a Trump supporter, and Quaid responded with a spiel about how “Facebook for some reason has been banning and censoring our advertising and promotion on it, which is very interesting, I think, because they said we were trying to influence an election.” Furthermore, he says the Ronald Reagan biopic about the Cold War “wasn’t meant to be political at all.” By far the most interesting part of the conversation, besides the close-ups on Quaid’s miniature English bulldog Peaches, is when he praises Penelope Ann Miller’s performance as Nancy Reagan.
