Mark Wahlberg
Funnyman and famous entertainer Mark Wahlberg is all about the kids and the environment. Whether he’s making you laugh on screen or filling your empty stomach at his family-owned burger joint burger joint franchise, Wahlburgers, Wahlberg regularly participates in charity work that ranges from helping the homeless to providing support to underprivileged youth. Mark is a registered Democrat whose political spending does not extend past the Democratic party; he provided donations to President Obama’s 2008 and 2012 campaigns.
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.”
Matt Damon
Matt Damon is best known for his incredible lead performance in the “Bourne” series, but his political views really caught everyone’s attention in 2008 when he decided to verbalize his disgust with Sarah Palin and her conservative views to the Associated Press. Damon is a known Democrat, supporting President Barack Obama and joining together with stars Ben Affleck and John Krasinski to host a 2012 fundraiser for nominee Elizabeth Warren during her Democratic campaign for Senate.
