Intolerant some?
Actor Chris Evans is a big New England Patriots fans, but he’s not sure if he ever could portray quarterback Tom Brady in a movie.
Asked in a recent interview with “The Hollywood Reporter,” the actor equivocated because, you know, didn’t the guy once like the president, or play golf with him, or have a red hat in his locker or something?
“I don’t know,” Evans said. “I really hope he’s not a Trump supporter. I’m just hoping he’s one of those guys that maybe supported him and now regrets it. Maybe he thought it was going to be different – and even that bothers me – but maybe there’s a chance now he just thinks Trump’s an absolute dumbs–, which he is. If he doesn’t, if he’s still on that Trump train, I might have to cut ties. It’s really tough. I think maybe a couple of years ago, I might have tried to pull some, like, mental gymnastics to compartmentalize, but I don’t know if I can anymore. So I’m just hoping he’s woken up.”
Brady has been friends with Trump for nearly 20 years but has probably never wondered if any linemen protecting him or receivers he throws to have the same political tastes as he does. Good thing. If they didn’t, and didn’t protect him or catch his passes, he – and they – wouldn’t have six Super Bowl rings.
