Adam Brody is not here to stay in his lane. In a brand new GQ profile, the actor opened up about his political awakening, which he traces back to the Bush versus Gore election and 9/11. His verdict on the former president? Bad leader, but a more civil and honorable person than Donald Trump. That quote alone is going to be everywhere this week.
Brody also revealed he has been canvassing with Swing Left since 2018, which makes him more than just a guy with opinions on X. He says Trump’s first term inspired a wave of celebrity activism, while the second term made speaking out feel riskier. His biggest claim? That Hollywood has actually shifted more conservative since MAGA took over. That’s a hot take that’s sure to spark debate in the comments.
The good news, according to Brody, is that excitement is building again ahead of the 2026 midterms. So will we see a full celebrity activism renaissance, or is Brody just one of the few still knocking on doors? Drop your take below.
