Ahead of the 2024 US presidential election, several celebrities from the entertainment industry weighed in on the race to the White House. Some of Hollywood's biggest names endorsed Donald Trump, helping sway the election in his favour. These prominent figures were instrumental in energising his campaign and amplifying his political message. On Tuesday, Donald Trump returned to the White House after a resounding victory over his Democratic rival Kamala Harris. Here's a list of key celebrities from the entertainment industry who supported Donald Trump throughout his campaign:

Dennis Quaid
Actor Dennis Quaid, known for The Parent Trap and The Day After Tomorrow, threw his weight behind Donald Trump at a rally in Coachella, California, ahead of the election. Speaking to the crowd, Quaid said: "It's time to pick a side. Are we gonna be a nation that stands for the Constitution? Or for TikTok? Are we gonna be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders?"

Veteran actor Jon Voight, father of Angelina Jolie, has long been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump. In a video shared on social media, Voight said, "Donald Trump will make any sacrifice to save America. We must vote for Trump because he will save this nation."
