Trump offers Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone ambassador roles to make 'Hollywood great again'

Mel Gibson, Jon Voight, and Sylvester Stallone have been given important roles by president-elect Donald Trump.

While Trump isn’t actually in office just yet, he will be sworn in on Monday (January 20) and he’s already making moves.

According to Trump, Hollywood is a ‘very troubled place’ and, when he becomes president, he supposedly wants to make it ‘bigger, better, and stronger than ever before’.

How is he going to do that, I hear you ask? With the help of acting veterans Gibson, Voight, and Stallone, apparently.

Taking to his social media platform Truth Social, Trump penned: “It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California.

“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 post continued: “These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”

As it stands, its unclear what these roles will involve.

Speaking after the announcement, Braveheart favorite Gibson said he had no idea it was coming.

In a statement to USA Today, Gibson said: “I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised. Nevertheless, I heed the call. My duty as a citizen is to give any help and insight I can.”

In light of the actor having recently lost his Malibu home in the LA wildfires, the 69-year-old quipped: “Any chance the position comes with an Ambassador’s residence?”

It isn’t thought that Voigt — Angelina Jolie’s father — and Stallone have publicly addressed their new ambassadorships yet.

It’s unclear if the three actors will be in attendance at Trump’s inauguration on Monday, but one famous face who will be in Kid Rock.

The singer will be performing at the event alongside the likes of Carrie Underwood and the Village People.

Kid Rock recently appeared on Jesse Watters Primetime where he discussed his upcoming performance.

During the chat, he addressed the fact that Michelle Obama won’t be there and suggested that the former first lady is ‘a little angry’.

The music star went on to note that, while he did not vote for Barack Obama when he became president, he still performed at the 2009 Youth Inaugural Ball after being asked by him.
