“Democracy always wins”

It is on the fringes of the inauguration of the Liberté Cinema that the pro-democrat actor wanted to express himself: “Sometimes, it's not the person you want. The good news is that democracy always wins. We will continue to live and present a candidate another day. » A word about Donald Trump? “This is not the right time to talk about that,” he dodges, supported by a smile.

A strong supporter of Kamala Harris

The Hollywood star established himself as one of the first personalities to recommend the withdrawal of Joe Biden, before the candidacy of Kamala Harris. Moreover, last September, he welcomed the withdrawal of the 46th president for his vice-president and described this gesture as “altruistic” during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival.

“The person we should be applauding is the president, who did the most selfless thing a president has done since George Washington,” he said. “We should all remember this altruistic act. We know how difficult it is to let go of power.”
