'Shazam!' star Zachary Levi endorses Donald Trump for president: 'We are going to take back this country'

A Hollywood actor is throwing his support behind former President Trump as Election Day is a little more than five weeks away.

"Shazam!" star Zachary Levi revealed his pick for president while moderating an event with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, the former Democrat congresswoman from Hawaii, in Michigan on Saturday.

Levi opened the event by explaining that he initially was backing RFK Jr. in the 2024 presidential election, and when Kennedy suspended his campaign, Levi  knew to whom he was sending his support.

"In a perfect world, in whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby," Levi said. "But we don't live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one. We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff, and we're here to stop that."

Levi added that he grew up in a Christian conservative family and his parents taught him to "have a healthy level of distrust of the government," adding that Kennedy is the "real deal" and the kind of politician he wanted to support for president.

"We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again, we're going to make it healthy again. And so I stand with Bobby and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. ... Of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there," Levi said.

Levi starred as the superhero Shazam in two DC movies in 2019 and 2023. The movies are about a young boy who transforms into an adult man after saying the catchphrase. He also starred in the TV series "Chuck" and voiced Flynn Rider in the animated Disney movie "Tangled."

The actor also brewed a social media storm after expressing his distrust of the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in a post on X in 2023.

The controversy began when Levi retweeted a question from Moorhouse Group founder Lyndon Wood, who questioned his followers, "Do you agree or not, that Pfizer is a real danger to the world?"

Levi replied to the question, "Hardcore agree."

The brief comment stirred intense backlash from left-leaning X accounts, attacking the actor for "disappointing" them after supporting "antivax propaganda."

Fox News Digital reached out to the Trump campaign and Levi for comment on the endorsement and did not immediately receive a response.

Rob Gronkowski left confused as 'FOX NFL Sunday' crew pulls off hilarious prank: 'Whoa!'

NFL legendary tight end Rob Gronkowski was the subject of a "FOX NFL Sunday" prank that left him flabbergasted in a hilarious scene. 

Whenever it comes to breaking down tight ends, the star-studded crew is going to turn to Gronkowski, the four-time Super Bowl champion who should be wearing a gold jacket one day after being one of the best tight ends in NFL history. 

But his Fox colleagues decided to pull a fast one on him during a fake segment that everyone but "Gronk" knew wasn’t real.

"He thought we were going live with an extra segment," Fox NFL Insider Jay Glazer said in a clip recap of the prank. "… The premise was, I was going to ‘break news’ that the Cowboys were activating this great Pro Bowl tight end who doesn’t exist and Gronkowski has to go on what he thinks is live TV to talk about this tight end."

Gronkowski’s colleague, Hall of Famer Michael Strahan, suggested in the next clip that the team should talk about Russo. Thus, the prank begins. 

Glazer then started to talk about Russo being activated by the Dallas Cowboys, but Gronkowski was being very quiet as the fake player was being discussed. Then Strahan stepped in.

"That’s big because Russo is a complete game-changer, takes so much pressure off [Cowboys quarterback] Dak [Prescott], takes so much pressure off the run game, great blocker, great receiver," Strahan said. 

After that explanation, host Kurt Menefee looked to Gronkowski for his input on Russo, and despite being confused, he simply winged it. 

"Uh, he’s been out for a little bit so he might be a little rusty coming back, but I think they’re going to give him the opportunities, that’s for sure, but also they got [Jake] Ferguson as well, so they’re going to be a 1-2 combo," Gronkowski said. 

Gronkowski tried to shift the conversation to Ferguson, the actual starting tight end of the Cowboys. However, another Hall of Famer in Terry Bradshaw went right back to Russo, and that’s when things got really wacky.

"He’s the only guy in the league that has two fingers missing on his right hand, that’s why he’s been out, and he’s back now," Bradshaw said.

"So, is that going to affect him when he’s catching a pass?" Gronkowski questioned Bradshaw. 

The crew was trying their hardest to keep the bit going, but after they couldn’t hold a straight face any longer, Menefee let Gronkowski in.

"Whoa! I was wondering," Gronkowski said in a shocked manner. "I was going to say right when it was done, ‘Guys, I’ve never heard of Rich Russo in my life.’"

When the show was actually live this Sunday, Gronkowski let his team know that they had his "head spinning" as he tried to figure out how to seem knowledgeable about Russo. 

But if there’s anything Gronkowski learned about that moment, it was "that I am always ready."
