US director: Trump, very good actor

American filmmaker Woody Allen says US President Donald Trump was a "good actor," despite expressing opposition to approximately 99 percent of his political positions.

Oscar‑winning American filmmaker Woody Allen has worked with countless big names over his decades‑long career and Trump is one of them.

In a recent interview, Allen shared that directing Trump in one of his films was “pleasant,” praising the president’s surprisingly strong on‑screen presence. 

But Allen was quick to draw a sharp political line.

“I’m a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris,” he said, adding that “I disagree with many, almost all, not all, but almost all of [Trump’s] politics, of his policies.”

He noted, “Politics is nothing but headaches and critical decisions and agony." adding, "he liked to do things that were enjoyable and relaxing. Why anyone would want to suddenly have to deal with the issues of politics is beyond me.”

Trump appeared in Allen's 1998 film 'Celebrity'.
