On February 3rd (local time), Creative Artists Agency (CAA) announced that they had signed a contract with former President Joe Biden. CAA mentioned their previous collaboration with him, “President Biden was previously represented by CAA from 2017 to 2020 following his eight-year term as the 47th Vice President of the United States. While a CAA client from 2017 to 2020, President Biden published his number one New York Times bestselling memoir, PROMISE ME, DAD, launched the 42-date AMERICAN PROMISE tour, which sold more than 85,000 tickets nationwide, and headlined numerous speaking engagements.“
Richard Lovett, CAA’s co-chairman, expressed his excitement about the partnership, “President Biden is one of America’s most respected and influential voices in national and global affairs. His lifelong commitment to public service is one of unity, optimism, dignity, and possibility. We are profoundly honored to partner with him again.”
Founded in 1975, CAA is the largest entertainment and sports agency in the United States. While it primarily represents famous actors and entertainers, it also works with producers and sports stars. Notable Korean clients include director Bong Joon-ho and “Squid Game” director Hwang Dong-hyuk. Korean actors such as Lee Jung-jae, Youn Yuh-jung and Kang Dong-won are also signed with the agency. Other high-profile CAA clients include director Steven Spielberg, actor Brad Pitt and MLB star Shohei Ohtani.
Some netizens speculated that Biden might be entering the entertainment industry, but the BBC clarified that it is not unusual for CAA to represent politicians and social activists. In the past, figures such as former U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama, as well as former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also signed with CAA.
Meanwhile, little is known about Biden’s post-presidency plans. Since leaving office on January 20th, he has been staying quietly at his home in Delaware. The only recent update about him has been news of his granddaughter Naomi giving birth, making him a great-grandfather.
