Allen, who directed Trump in 1998 film Celebrity, adds that he disagrees with his politics but ‘if he would let me direct him now that he’s president, I could do wonders’
Woody Allen has said he was impressed by the acting abilities of Donald Trump when he directed the now-president in the 1998 film Celebrity.
Speaking on Bill Maher’s Club Random, Allen said Trump was “a pleasure to work with and a very good actor”.
He continued: “He was very polite, hit his mark, did everything correctly and had a real flair for show business. I could direct him now. If he would let me direct him now that he’s president, I think I could do wonders.”
In Allen’s ensemble film starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Trump has a fleeting scene in which he’s interviewed about his forthcoming projects by a TV reporter.
