Robert Downey Jr.
Iron Man has had struggles in his life; we’re all aware of that, but what’s less known is that Downey Jr was raised in a partly Catholic and partly Jewish family. Today, he follows Buddhism more than the mainstream religions of the U.S., and credits that theology with helping him overcome alcoholism and drug addiction. He’s now a bit outside the Hollywood norm as well with regard to his political affiliation. “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.”
Bruce Willis
Bruce Willis became a household name while starring with Cybil Shephard in the hit series, “Moonlighting.” He absolutely stole the show and has been on fire ever since. He’s also a strong supporter of our troops and was born into a military family. He has gone overseas and entertained the troops – he’s actually a great singer and entertainer. He was born in Germany then he and his family settled in New Jersey after his dad left the military. He has not hidden his conservative leanings, he’s pro 2nd Amendment and voted for George W. Bush in both the 2000 and 2004 elections.
Denzel Washington
Denzel was recently asked who he voted for in the 2016 election. He told the reporter, “None of your business.” He seemed visibly annoyed at how aggressive the reporter came at him and it was obvious that he wants to keep his political affiliation to himself, but to his credit, he’s also not about to publicly bash either side of the spectrum. His parents were quite religious; his dad was a preacher and his mom, a gospel singer. He’s a devout Christian and attends the Church of God in L.A. and says he tries very hard to always “send a good message” through his films and celebrity status.
