PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former President Donald Trump announced the appointment of actors Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as “Special Ambassadors” to Hollywood, aiming to revitalize the entertainment industry in California.

In a statement released Thursday, Trump said the three actors will serve as his “Special Envoys” to address what he described as Hollywood’s decline in business over the past four years.

“They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to foreign countries, BACK—BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!” Trump said.

Trump praised Voight, Gibson, and Stallone as “very talented people” who will act as his “eyes and ears” in Hollywood. He added that he plans to take action based on their recommendations to restore what he called “The Golden Age of Hollywood.”

Specific details on the responsibilities or authority of these roles were not provided, and it remains unclear what policies or initiatives Trump plans to pursue in connection with this announcement.
