Actor Michael Douglas gave an over the top endorsement of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (D) for president on Tuesday, calling him “one of the greatest candidates in the history of our elections.”

“I feel so blessed that in this particularly difficult time that we have one of the greatest candidates in the history of our elections,” the Ant-Man actor told PEOPLE, noting that he “hasn’t been this excited” about a candidate since John F. Kennedy.

Anthony Hopkins on Why He Doesn’t Talk About Politics: ‘Actors Are Pretty Stupid’

In a conversation with fellow actor Brad Pitt for a lengthy chat for Interview magazine, Anthony Hopkins explained why he seldom — actually: never — talks about politics... and why he’s not a big fan of other actors talking about politics either. In short: “Actors are pretty stupid.”

“People ask me questions about present situations in life, and I say, ‘I don’t know, I’m just an actor,’” Hopkins told Pitt. “ I don’t have any opinions. Actors are pretty stupid. My opinion is not worth anything. There’s no controversy for me, so don’t engage me in it, because I’m not going to participate.”

“There seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where dumb entertainers like Actor Michael Douglas and former professional athletes aka dumb jocks,were mistaken for people of importance.

They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete/entertainer is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important … so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”

Hey, Mike, getting the Gordon Gekko endorsement isn’t exactly going to endear you to the Bernie fans out there.

Anne Hathaway has shot two movies here in Pittsburgh. I know people who worked on the crews. To hear them tell it we have smarter fire hydrants in this town.

Right. Because Michael Douglas’ opinion is the most important thing to consider when selecting who to vote for.

Bet he didn’t say that back when Bloomberg was a “Republican”.

Supposedly she has really extreme difficulty remembering even the simplest of lines. She kept blowing take after take after take, was continually prompted with the line, but then would blow it again. During long days of shooting they found her to be exasperating.

Yes, entertainers aren’t noted for being smart.

... but neither are politicians....

Douglas’ tongue and groove intellect isn’t suited to politics.

Every dem lies about the most mundane things. Lil Mikey Douglas would have been 15 going on 16 when JFK was a candidate. Tell me, what 15 yr old back in 1960 would follow politics?
