celebrities we liked before they got too
political
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
focusing on celebrities that have taken
full advantage of their fame by taking
sharp turns both left and right into
politics I’ve always thought this way I
just didn’t realize it
number 10 Russell Brand Lotus ancient
sky of laundering are in Forgetting
Sarah Marshall this English comedian
portrayed oh troubled yet hilarious rock
star named Aldous snow due to Russell
Brand’s memorable performance he landed
a starring role in the follow-up
production get him to the Greek which
also spawned a relationship with Katy
Perry but as Russell Brand became a
trending topic
he began promoting his politics and
revolutionary ideas what is this market
thing is a construct is an idea that is
used to apportion power although a
gifted and insightful comic there is a
fine line between celebrity
revolutionaries and political activists
that work behind the scenes in the end
brand seems to enjoy the attention but
we just want more eldest no in future if
someone asks you to give them a critique
of their work and rip out him gizzards
and old in front of their face number 9
Azealia Banks in late 2011 this Harlem
MC released the hyperactive single 212 a
track that would ultimately be featured
in HBO’s girls along with numerous
feature films she’s being very elitist
and cruel at the time the name of a Leah
banks was associated solely with her
music but then she began talking trash
of course that is part of the game but
as a Lea often goes over the top with
brash tweets about celebrities and
ethnic groups it’s always something with
Azealia Banks and she seems to go for
the shock factor time and time again
talented as she may be her offensive
remarks don’t seem to be helping her
career
that might be a sign that she should
focus more on the music and less on the
drama
luckily the marginal people who
understand what I’m saying verses don’t
is starting to like you know chain
number eight the Dixie Chicks you know
even walk off that stage going oh my god
oh my daughter Shannon said I can’t
leave I said that in the late 90s the
Dixie Chicks rose to fame after the
massive success of wide open spaces they
followed that up with three billboard
number-one albums over the next several
years this made them one of the most
endearing and relatable crossover acts
of their time as such and flopped to
their live shows to hear them sing lead
singer Natalie Maines had other ideas as
she began using her platform to complain
about Ben president george w bush who
was also raised in texas suddenly it was
less about the music and more about
making a political statement leading
supporters to look elsewhere
[Applause]
number seven donald trump i am
officially running for president of the
united states regardless of one’s
personal politics no one can deny the
Donald’s relevance in American pop
culture she’s walking down the hall and
to the left in fact there was a time
when Donald Trump was a trending water
cooler topic finding laughs with his
outrageous demeanor on NBC’s The
Apprentice Richard you’re fired
then Trump intimidated contestants
making him one of the great stars of
reality TV unsurprisingly America’s
fascination with him increased and so he
ramped up his political aspirations
which had previously been dismissed with
more support came more power until his
bravado and aggressive politics
ultimately made him the most powerful
man in the world
let’s just say a lot of people like
primetime Trump more than presidential
Trump number six Ted Nugent John
Lennon’s Imagine is about living a
fantasy which is a lie and it will never
happen and if that’s what you pursue
have a nice day born and raised in the
Upper Midwest
rock-and-rollers resume dates back to
the 60s ted nugent can flat-out shred on
the guitar and for a long time that’s
all that many people knew about him but
given his personality and straightedge
approach to life ted naturally became a
pop-culture personality a man that liked
to promote his personal ideals
unsurprisingly this is when nugent
became a polarizing figure as his
preachy rhetoric and affinity for guns
rubbed some people the wrong way there
is no gun violence there is criminal
violence and they use an assortment of
tools with that he transformed from Ted
Nugent the rock star into Ted Nugent the
former rock star with strong right-wing
opinions Nugent sticks to his guns
literally for him the Second Amendment
is non-negotiable
number five Sean Penn as one of the most
enduring stars of modern Hollywood Sean
Penn has earned plenty of clout within
the industry there’s a distinct
possibility to use Goomba on I’ve got
some plans for me with that being said
the actor is anything but shy off screen
and has long been one of the more vocal
Hollywood personalities when someone
like Penn begins injecting himself into
international narratives it naturally
leads to negative publicity in 2015 10
arranged an interview with Mexican drug
lord el chapo leading many to question
his intentions it’s not always clear
what Penn hopes to achieve with his
political rhetoric but he’s become yet
another Hollywood star that continuously
inserts himself into societal narrative
when all many people want is just a new
movie but in this case of course we’re
also talking about something that’s much
bigger than the conversation of Isis
versus Iran number four Charlton Heston
from my cold dead hands whereas some
people recognize this late actor is a
true Hollywood icon others only know him
as the former president of the National
Rifle Association during his prime
Charlton Heston was a towering figure
known for his roles in the Ten
Commandments Ben Hur and Planet of the
Apes look at the bright side
this is the best they’ve got around here
and six months we’ll be running this
planet
and while Heston was always politically
active during his lifetime
it was the documentary Bowling for
Columbine that made the average
moviegoer a little more aware of his
politics listen we have guns in the
house here indeed I do
uh-huh and bad guys take notice for many
it’s now almost impossible to watch a
heston film without thinking about
everything else regardless of whether
you agree or disagree with his
viewpoints this is who she is or was
this is her mr. head please don’t leave
number three Lena Dunham I am a
pro-choice feminist sexual assault
survivor with a chronic reproductive
illness Donald Trump and his party think
I should be punished for exercising my
constitutional right this timely
filmmaker became an indie darling with
her 2010 film Tiny Furniture as her
follow-up Lena Dunham created and
starred in the acclaimed HBO series
girls tapping into a millennial mindset
hi I’m Hannah and I feel I may have
overdone it on the snacks a little bit
but just as her career took off social
media took off too providing for some
awkward Lena Dunham moments thanks to
this Lena has embraced her fame
sometimes using it for good and
sometimes making people scratch their
head it can be difficult to gauge if
Lena is playing a role within pop
culture or just playing the role of
real-life Hannah Horvath whatever the
case the lines have become blurred and
work harder than demand and pills
offered and jaded people have the nerve
number two Jenny McCarthy we do not need
that many vaccines in the 90s this
blonde bombshell graced the pages of
Playboy and hosted the MTV series
singled out at the time Jenny McCarthy
was a genuine American sex symbol and
one that had comedic appeal within pop
culture – like so many other models
turned actresses Jenny had a working
career in both television and film
leading to more opportunities as she
became a mother I just realized I can’t
stand you you can kiss these puppies to
buy in 2007
Jenny’s persona took a hit after some
controversial opinions about autism
surfaced later bolstered by a hosting
gig on the view in 2013 once a
fun-loving MTV personality McCarthy
flipped a switch and became
controversial sometimes these classrooms
that are so big they go at like super
fast phase where they can’t slow down
for your child that they need a little
bit more extra attention before we
unveil our number one pick here are some
honorable mentions
I like Trump because Trump is not a
politician he talks like a guy and
ladies out there this is what guys talk
about when you’re not around I would say
the distraction that’s created is by a
media that’s overly obsessed with this
stuff because it’s easier than doing the
hard stuff of this job look America he’s
like the best idea the world ever came
up with but Donald Trump is potentially
the worst idea that ever happened to
America number one Kirk Cameron I would
never attempt to try to redefine
marriage and I don’t think anyone else
should either in the 80s he was one of
televisions most iconic stars as the
mischievous Mike Seaver on growing pains
Kirk Cameron became a pop culture
superstar I can explain all this
even though Cameron didn’t ultimately
have a lasting television career his
legacy had been established at least
until he became the face of the left
behind movie franchise this is insane
people don’t just disappear and began
promoting his personal politics on TV
furthermore Kirk’s willingness to push
his religious agenda in the media
hasn’t helped either I treasure the God
that loves me and and forgives me of my
sin now it’s almost impossible to
experience growing pain reruns in the
same way as before but where you going
