Fame and celebrity

Peregrym and Levi tied the knot in 2014 but separated six months after their wedding; she’s now happily married to Oakley and a mum-of-two while Levi is actively supporting Trump’s re-election

With the 2024 US presidential election just a month away, many American celebrities are encouraging citizens to vote and making their preferences clear with ringing endorsements. Grammy-winning singer Taylor Swift revealed just moments after the recent presidential debate ended that she would be voting for current Vice-President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz, while rapper Amber Rose has declared her support for Donald Trump.
Among the list of celebrity endorsements is Shazam! star Zachary Levi, who recently announced his support for former president Trump after his first pick, Robert F Kennedy Jr, dropped out of the race. He recently moderated a campaign discussion between Kennedy Jr and former senator Tulsi Gabbard.

In a speech at the event, Levi said “We’re here to make sure that we are going to take back this country, we are going to make it great again, we are going to make it healthy again. And so, I stand with Bobby, and I stand with Tulsi, and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump.”

The endorsement came as shocking news to some fans, with many bringing up the actor’s ex-wife, Missy Peregrym in discussions. “No wonder Missy Peregrym divorced him in just 10 months,” one X user wrote, while another commented, “Missy Peregrym dodged a bullet divorcing him.”
