Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight have been given huge jobs by Donald Trump.
The US president-elect has named the trio as ambassadors tasked with revamping the iconic film industry hub to be "bigger, better and stronger than ever before". Describing Hollywood as a "great but very troubled place" that's been losing business "lost much business... to foreign countries", the 78 year old leader declared it "my honour" to appoint "these three very talented people".
He enthused: "It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood! " Trump praised the actors, all staunch supporters, saying they "will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest." This comes amid a series of bizarre celebrity and crony appointments to high-ranking government positions. Trump has made his golfing mate and property tycoon Steven Witkoff a Middle East peace envoy and appointed Fox News presenter Pete Hegseth as defence secretary.
He's even floated the idea of bringing in Hulk Hogan as a fitness czar after the wrestler's awkward endorsement during his campaign. 'Braveheart' lead Mel Gibson revealed he got wind of his new role via Trump's Truth Social platform, expressing his "surprised" but readiness to "nevertheless, I heed the call."

Gibson, a victim of the recent LA wildfires that claimed his home, quipped about the perks of the job: "Any chance the position comes with an ambassador's residence?"
While voicing their support during Trump's election campaign, reps for Voight and Stallone have remained silent following the news. Stallone notably introduced Trump at Mar-a-Lago post-election victory in November, while Gibson disclosed his pro-Trump stance in a pre-election video.
Known Trump supporter Voight received the National Medal of Arts from the previous administration. The news comes after Trump's upcoming inauguration is set to move indoors for the first time since 1985, due to freezing temperatures. The decision will ensure far fewer people will be able to watch the moment he officially becomes the 47th president, limiting it to a much smaller group of invited guests inside.
He had invited hundreds of guests, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Caitlyn Jenner and Mark Zuckerberg. The move will also ensure the security threat posed to Trump on the day is drastically reduced. "I don't want anyone to get hurt or injured. The conditions are dangerous for the thousands of law enforcement officers, first responders, K9 units, horses, and the hundreds of thousands of supporters who would be outside for hours," he wrote, adding a note of caution: "If you decide to come, dress warmly."
Trumps post included screenshots from the National Weather Service forecasting "dangerously cold wind chills" of down to -12c. The decision to move the event indoors spares attendees, security officials, and spectators from enduring hours in the freezing cold.
