Jon Voight on Being Hollywood’s Most Outspoken Trump Supporter and Fighting Angelina Jolie Over Israel-Palestine: ‘She’s Been Influenced by Antisemitic People’


Jon Voight talks about the upcoming film 'Megalopolis,' Donald Trump, and his daughter Angelina Jolie.

Camping it up for the camera, Voight seems to be reprising a recent note — one he plays in Francis Ford Coppola’s dystopian “ Megalopolis,” where his Crassus reigns as a wine-addled emperor over a decadent New Rome, a fictional version of a future New York City. Two of the best examples of Voight’s approach to morphing into characters include his appearances as Nate, a criminal operator with some startling facial disfigurements in “Heat” and his chameleonic Oscar-nominated turn as sportscaster Howard Cosell in “Ali,” both Michael Mann films. Then, as Israeli bombs leveled Gaza, the United Nations and human rights activists began suggesting that Israel was repeating the mistakes of America after 9/11, inflicting rage-filled indiscriminate violence on the Gazan civilian population resulting in the deaths of an estimated 35,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, as neighborhoods were razed in the pursuit of Hamas terrorists.
