25 Celebrities You Didn’t Know Were Republican....!!!
Hollywood has long been a
bastion of Democratic and liberal ideals. A-list Democratic celebrities
(George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, the list
goes on) loudly advocate liberal causes with the wide support of their
industry peers. Politicians flock to the area, hosting as many
fundraisers as they can, while Republicans typically avoid it.
But among the myriad of stars who bleed blue, there are still a handful who cast their votes for the other side.
#25 -
Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis has conservative and liberal leanings. He supports free health care for the elderly and backed Democratic candidate Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential election.
He supports the right to bear arms, however, and has supported every
Republican candidate in presidential elections since.
#24 -
Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris has been more outspoken against President Obama than most
other openly Republican celebrities. So much so, that he and his wife
issued a two-minute warning for America in 2012, implying that an Obama
reelection would usher in “one thousand years of darkness.”
#23 -
Caitlyn Jenner
Kim Kardashian’s statement, cited by ''Hollowverse'', says it all: “My household is really split up. The parents are
Republicans and the children are Democrats. So, it’s like a political
warfare in our household when we talk about politics.”
#22 -
Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner further confirmed Kim’s statement, saying that she is a “complete Republican.”
#21 -
Lauren Conrad
Lauren Conrad has supported
multiple causes like fighting hunger and childhood cancer, advocating
for victims of domestic violence, and even “liberal” causes like
environmentalism. She prefers to keep her political views quiet but was seen applauding members of the Republican party (and smirking at Democratic
ones) during a White House Correspondence dinner in 2008.
#20 -
Christian Bale
Christian Bale is pretty quiet about his political views, but ''hollowverse''
notes that a handful of question and answer sites list the actor as a
Republican. There is also evidence that he was one of only a few people
to attend the funeral service of prominent NRA member Charlton Heston.

Robert Downey Jr.
Many point to a comment Downey made to the ''new york times''
as evidence that he’s a Republican:
“I have a really
interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say
too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night
suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come
out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone
else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my
proclivities and politics every since.”
It’s not too clear what
changed in Downey during his time in prison (if anything you’d think
such an experience would make a person more liberal), but it appears to
have shifted his political leaning to the right.
#18 -
Adam Sandler
Adam Sandler is a registered Republican and donated $2,100 to Rudy Giuliani’s presidential campaign.
#17 -
Kenny Chesney
Country music singer Kenny Chesney said to ''politico'' in 2009 that “I voted for McCain. I voted to keep my taxes lower,” but
also noted that he’s liberal in some ways, citing the fact that he’s
pro-choice.
#16 -
Carrie Underwood
Carrie Underwood is a
registered Republican, but doesn’t endorse any candidates openly. In
fact, she “loses respect” for anyone who does, she told ''TV Guide'' in 2011.
#15 -
Peyton Manning
Accordingly,
Peyton Manning has donated at least $14,000 to Republicans since 2004,
including $2,000 to President Bush’s reelection campaign.
For the greatest of all remaining 15, stay on the site and comments can be made..!!
