Shazam! star Zachary Levi has urged fellow celebrities in Hollywood who are voting for Donald Trump in the US presidential election to publicly speak out in regard to their support for the Republicans.
In an Instagram Live video last Sunday, the 44-year-old stressed that there’s a lot that he doesn’t like about Trump, 78, but following the end of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s campaign, he’s turned his support to the former President.
Speaking passionately from what appeared to be a hotel room, Levi said: ‘My cry to all of you out there, you closeted conservatives, closeted Trump voters, y’all, it’s now or never, you know what I mean?
‘Do whatever you feel like you need to do. If you need to come out publicly and say it, if you feel like you still can’t, then don’t.
‘I would never pressure you to do that, but know that if what you’re afraid of is somehow the backlash of an industry that’s not going to exist very soon, then don’t let that hold you back,’ the Chuck star added.

The actor confirmed that he is voting for Trump for the first time, but stressed there’s a lot he doesn’t like about him
Earlier on in the video, Levi said: ‘I have been very vocal about my dislike for [Trump]. He gets lost in his ego so quickly, I f**king despise it!’ before later saying: ‘He puts his f**king foot in his mouth all the time and I hate it!’
However, Levi stressed that it’s not enough for him to vote Democrat because there is ‘massive corruption’ in the current government.
‘It’s sh**ty that we only have two to choose from right now, but that’s all we have,’ he continued before claiming Kamala Harris is ‘only going to be puppeted’ if she wins the election on November 5.
When Levi first endorsed Trump publicly last month and described Hollywood as a ‘very very liberal town,’ Whoopi Goldberg spoke out live on an episode of The View and disagreed with his statement and claimed ‘it’s always been a very right-leaning town.’
Levi clapped back to this during his Instagram Live and pointed out that Goldberg, 68, was only able to name actors Jon Voight and Dennis Quaid as examples out of the thousands working in Hollywood today.
He also added actors like them seem to only come out as Republican when ‘at a certain level of your career to get away with it.’
‘And what that means is there’s plenty – and by the way, they have sent me lots of messages – plenty of people in my industry in Hollywood that are terrified to publicly say that they would vote for Donald Trump or be conservative in any way,’ he went on to say.
‘That’s why you don’t see them. That’s why they’re not very prevalent or prominent because they know that there’s ramifications for this kind of s**t.’

On September 28, Levi hosted ‘Team Trump’s Reclaim America Tour’ where he confirmed that he will be voting for Trump.
After his first pick, RFK Jr. dropped out of the race, Levi said that with the two options left, Trump ‘is the man that can get us there.’
‘This year, I found Bobby Kennedy, and I thought, man this guy, this guy’s it,’ the Tangled star said.
‘And in a perfect world, whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby, but we don’t live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one.’
He continued: ‘We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff. And we’re here to stop that, right?’
The crowd started cheering for the Hollywood star as he used Trump’s coined phrase: ‘We are going to make America great again!’
