#Ron #Howard #Surprised by #JD #Vance’s #Political Turn

Renowned filmmaker Ron Howard has expressed surprise and disappointment over the political rhetoric of JD Vance, Trump’s vice-presidential running mate in the 2024 US election. Vance, once known as the author of the memoir Hillbilly Elegy, worked with Howard during the adaptation of the book into a Netflix film. Speaking at the Toronto International Film Festival, Howard reflected on his interactions with Vance, recalling their conversations focused more on Vance’s survival story rather than politics. Howard shared his dismay, saying, “People change, and I assume that’s the case here. Based on what I knew of him, I am very surprised and disappointed by the rhetoric I’ve been hearing recently.” Howard encouraged everyone to vote responsibly, emphasizing the importance of active participation in current events over past films. #RonHoward #JDVance #HillbillyElegy #2024Elections #DonaldTrump #VicePresidentialRace #SurprisedAndDisappointed #VoteResponsibly #PoliticalShift #TIFF2024 #MovieToPolitics #
