No, this is not the cast of “Expendables 5.”
President-elect Donald Trump tapped three long-time supporters — actors Sylvester Stallone, Mel Gibson and Jon Voight — as “Special Ambassadors to Hollywood” Thursday, ostensibly to help boost business in “troubled” Tinseltown.
“[They’ll be] Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” the 78-year-old Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“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!”
The stars’ actual duties weren’t immediately clear, but Trump said the trio would be his “eyes and ears” in the movie industry, “and I will get done what they suggest.

This should be categorized as a "hardship post." Will they be eligible for extra pay?
Regards,
I don’t know why Gibson, when discussing biden and Trump on laura ingraham’s show a few days ago he said he didn’t care for either one.
Agreed, I’d rather see Woods over gibson.....of course Gibson probably has more sway out there.
Woods is an outspoken conservative and there’s no telling what that has cost him in acting jobs over the years.
[singing] everybody's talkin' at me, I can't hear a word they're sayin', I'm just drivin' 'round in Jon Voight's car...
Either one meaning what? Repub and lib?
Gibson said he didn’t care for biden OR Trump
I would have thought Schwarzenegger would also be invited to join this group...
Gibson said he didn’t care for biden OR Trump
What would you think the mission is to these three?
“What would you think the mission is to these three?”
Probably to convince the left wing nuts in hollyweird that Trump and his administration arn’t actually hitler and a threat to democracy.....at least in part anyway.
And good luck to them with that cuz if that’s the mission they have their work cut out for ‘em.
I thought this was Babylon Bee!!
Trump is a genius. Probably at the level of Einstein or nearly so. Right now, Hollywood has been severely damaged by the mismanagement of the politicians they have incubated and supported. This is when they go from actors in movies straight into reality and reality is going to scare them. It’s almost as if God was working on it.
I think Woods likes to be TOTALLY independent.
Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries.
China calls many shots there or they never get to show the them in China.
It seems like all the movies are now made somewhere other than California. Ga, BC, Ontario, NC, eastern Europe.
Cost is to high to do them here in California like everything else is.
Trump is a winner, CA is a loser.
Trump could have added Dennis Quaid.
