Dennis Quaid said at the Taormina Film Festival Friday that he was being discriminated against as an actor because he supports United States President Donald Trump, unlike the majority of his peers.
The 71-year-old Texan.
star of Breaking Away, Traffic and Far From Heaven among many other critical and commercial hits, told reporters he did "not at all agree" with Martin Scorsese and Michael Douglas who in recent days, at the Sicilian festival, had said they were extremely disappointed by Trump's election, with the Taxi Driver auteur saying the president saying Trump seemed to love humiliating people and the Fatal Attraction star apologising for his country.
"I think exactly the opposite," said Quaid, "I am really happy with Trump's election and I think that history will prove it.
"Trump's presidency is a turning point, not only for the United States, but for the entire world, and this will lead to a much better and more peaceful world".
