Jon Voight, the legendary actor and father to the equally legendary Angelina Jolie, is weighing in on his daughter’s opinions about Israel and Palestine. And boy, does he have some thoughts!
In a chat with Variety, the spry 85-year-old spilled the beans, saying he thinks Angie has been βbrainwashed by antisemitic peopleβ and βforce-fed propaganda like itβs a buffet special.β
βSheβs been marinated in propaganda. Dunked in it. Angieβs got ties to the U.N. and loves to play the spokesperson for refugees, but Iβm telling you, these people arenβt refugees,β Jon declared, probably with the kind of dramatic flair only an Oscar-winner could muster.
But donβt worry, Jon’s got a soft spot for his daughter. βI love my daughter β thatβs numero uno. I do a happy dance when Angieβs happy,β he confessed. At this point, Variety noted his eyes getting all misty, like a Hallmark movie. βWhen sheβs having a rough patch, Iβm having a rough patch. When sheβs down, Iβm down,β he added, probably reaching for a tissue.
Jon and Angelina once had a falling out that could rival any Hollywood drama, but theyβve patched things up. Who says family reunions arenβt magical?
Jon also chimed in on his support for his buddy, Donald Trump. Apparently, about 25 celebrities have joined the Trump Train for the 2024 election. βIβm Hollywoodβs loudest Trump cheerleader. Iβve been shouting from the rooftops that heβs the one and only answer. Maybe now, people will look at olβ Jon Voight differently. If Trumpβs being revealed like this, perhaps theyβll see a supporter like me in a new light,β he mused. And as for President Joe Bidenβs debate performances? Jon didnβt hold back. βItβs a travesty, all the performance-enhancing drugs and steroids theyβre pumping into him.β
Jon Voight, mixing family feels with political zingers like itβs his new blockbuster role!
