You know Zachary Levi — even if you maybe wish you didn’t.
Zachary has worked steadily since his role as Chuck in, uh, Chuck — if not quite successfully. His last two big projects, Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Harold and the Purple Crayon, were critical and commercial disappointments, to say the least.
More recently, Zachary has gained attention for his political stances rather than his acting abilities. He endorsed Trump and emerged as a vaccine skeptic, and Broadway legend Laura Benanti came forward to say that she basically hates him in response to all of his public shenanigans. Brutal.
Now, Zachary is far from “canceled.” He just starred in the faith-based film The Unbreakable Boy and has several projects currently in post-production. He’s also currently filming the action film Hotel Tehran.
But, as Trump-supporting Hollywood types often do, Zachary is now claiming that his career’s been hurt by his political opinions — specifically, in a new profile that Variety recently published.
“I know that there are people that would prefer not to work with me now because of my opinions. My team has let me know,” he said in the profile, apparently gesturing towards Beverly Hills in conversation.
“They haven’t given me any specific names, but there are people who prefer not to work with me at this time. And it’s unfortunate. I knew that was probably going to happen. I didn’t make this decision blindly or casually.”
