Oscar-winning producer Brian Grazer admitted he’s faced “blowback” in Hollywood circles after publicly admitting that he voted for Donald Trump last year. Grazer, 73, a longtime Democratic donor, was spotted palling around with Trump at a football game in December 2024, and later opened up about his support for Trump in a Fox Nation docuseries titled “Art of the Surge.” During an interview with Variety alongside Ron Howard, Grazer admitted “there was blowback” to his decision to vote for Trump, but said it hasn’t affected his bottom line. “No. I am what I am. I haven’t changed,” he said when asked by Variety if people still wanted to work with him, but admitted, “I don’t know if I should say anything more than that.” Grazer previously revealed that he’d been “canceled” by close friends after telling them he voted for Trump, but that he stood by his decision. “As a centrist, it was because I could feel and see Biden’s deterioration and the lack of direction in the Democratic Party at that time,” he told Fox, adding that he “just couldn’t” bring himself to vote for Kamala Harris, despite bankrolling her Senate campaign in 2015.
