Actor Josh Duhamel Gets It: 'No One Cares What I Think'

"I don’t like to get involved politically at all."

Serving up a serious helping of common sense, actor Josh Duhamel of Transformers said that Hollywood actors need to shut up and stop telling people what to think, because guess what? People. Do. Not. Care. 

"I don’t necessarily think it’s important to tell people how to vote," he said during an interview with Fox News. "That’s one thing I don’t do. I don’t like to get involved politically at all. Nobody cares what I think politically."

"Anybody in entertainment who thinks people care what they think politically are really misinformed. That’s one thing I stay away from. I stay away from politics because nobody cares what I think."

His sentiment echoes that of his Transformers co-star Mark Wahlberg, who also said last year that “out of touch” celebrities need to stop lecturing people. KISS frontman Gene Simmons has also said, "I think celebrities should basically shut their pie holes and do what they do best — act, sing, tap dance, juggle balls, and all that kind of stuff."

This type of attitude used to be the norm in Hollywood, but the 60's and 70's jettisoned that principle. Nowadays, if an actor keeps silent, the Social Justice Totalitarians publicly shame them for not speaking out. This happened regularly during the 2016 election.
