Vocal Trump Supporter James Woods On Why His ‘Oppenheimer’ Involvement Was Kept Quiet: “I Basically Remain Invisible, Which Was Painful”


James Woods reveals why he kept quiet about his involvement with Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer.

The actor and vocal Donald Trump supporter recently opened up in an interview why it was “painful” for him to sit back and not talk about the Cillian Murphy-starring film, saying he “took one for the team.” “When Oppenheimer came out, there was a discussion about my Twitter, and it was gently suggested that I basically remain invisible, which was painful,” he said on Megyn Kelly’s SiriusXM show. Woods’ thinking process was that he didn’t want someone associating his political views with the Oppenheimer title, turning off audiences from buying tickets to the movie.
