Trump Appoints Gibson, Voight, Stallone as Hollywood Ambassadors

Mel Gibson expressed surprise upon learning that President-elect Donald Trump appointed him as a 'special ambassador' to Hollywood, a role Gibson discovered through social media like everyone else. Alongside Gibson, actors Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight were selected to help 'bring back' Hollywood, which Trump described as 'a great but very troubled place.' Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that these actors would serve as his 'eyes and ears' to revive Hollywood's business, which has suffered losses to foreign countries. The exact responsibilities of these 'special ambassadors' remain unclear, as they are not official government positions. Despite the lack of prior consultation, Gibson stated he would accept the position and contribute as needed, humorously inquiring if the role came with an ambassador's residence. The announcement comes amid broader discussions on the future of Hollywood, which has faced challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic and other setbacks.
