Ron Howard is 'Surprised' & 'Concerned' by JD Vance After Having Directed 'Hillbilly Elegy'

[ElizabethBrown-dc]

We as normal Americans don’t have what these movie stars have !!! We as most Americans don’t live behind closed doors, we live in normal society!!! So I don’t care what most movie stars think !! They can afford most things in life!!! So I’m voting for the candidate that loves this country and cares about us the normal people in our great country and he who also loves this country!!! DONALD J TRUMP!!!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

[James-osg]

We don't live in a movie this is for real.

I’m baffled by how seemingly intelligent people like Mr. Howard can be so utterly and completely unaware of what is really going on. Perhaps it’s easy to live inside of a community of like-minded people, only hear and read from a handful of sources, have the benefit of no financial concerns and be out of touch with most of the world.. Many of these people, especially those in Hollywood, have certain ideas about how a society should be, yet they are removed from the realities and negative impacts of their ideas. By the way, Ron, are you concerned about all of the rhetoric from your party that has led to the attempted assassinations? Even the comparison of Trump to Hitler this week? Be honest.

You don't vote for people because of how they are today for the simple reason that tomorrow they can change their minds .You vote on their history, and if they are consistent about what they say and do.

I was called “Opie” my entire life…. It’s an honor Mr. Howard!

Another hollywood star who doesn't live hand to mouth.
A comment was made that people make poor choices, resulting in circumstances less fortunate.
I suppose that is not a falsity. Yet, if you can, expand your mind to the many scenarios of possibilities that exist.
We live, some, in material wealth, others in spiritual wealth, some, in both. It would be an error in thought, to think oneself better than others at any given moment. Your perogative, of course.

Such a sweet kid when he was on Mayberry. What happened to him. I did listen to the candidates and did make an informed decision Donald J Trump. Don’t need Hollywood to tell me who to vote for.

[mks]

This was a good statement by him!
He was not preach or did not call names, he expressed his opinion for the candidate of choice and then told everyone to vote for who they thought they should.

How other Hollywood should handle it.

[carltonlee]

She lied and lied. Vote for her and your children will know just what you are.

Politics aside, it's good to see you. I grew up in North Carolina. It was such a pleasure seeing Mayberry growing up and I still regularly ( listen) to the show while I cook dinner. I don't have to watch it because I know every move after having watched every episode more than I can count. The show reminds me of home and the kindness that forged my own character. I hope you know how blessed you are to be forever a part of American culture. Thank you !

No version of me would ever vote for the party of big government. Having said that, you made a beautiful movie Mr Howard.

[idahocharley]

“Listen to what the candidate is saying today” and forgetting what they said last week is weak advice from a weak mind.

I hope I heard him out of context.

[EamonnMurphy-ccdt]

Think what they're saying? Think what they have done when they were in power.

[dr.froghopper]

Kamel toe didn’t have anything to say other than meaningless word salads. That steered my vote to the side that DID have something to say. And I’m really not a huge fan of Trump! But the last 4 years have shown that I’m definitely not a Democrat, the party that has nothing but power trips and incompetence to offer.

[griplimit]

It’s hard to make an informed opinion about a candidate when 95% of the media is for one side.

[LordDirus]

It's Real Howard, it's how us Americans Talk. Illegal Immigrants need to go. It doesn't mean we don't care about People's Plight. It's just we rather prioritize our citizens first. We have a lot of people in need of help. I seen new houses being built but not for Americans. My Mom rents a small apartment in a crappy neighborhood. Across the street they are building houses for Immigrants. Every time I got to the Food Bank, because I can barely afford groceries on my VA Disability Income(War Injury), I see it packed in line with Immigrants.

We need to help our own first.

[bobnicholas]

Ron has lasted this long because he says his opinion without telling us what to do.

[maskedmarvyl]

How exactly is Ron Howard surprised by Trump's behavior today as opposed to the first time he was President and was impeached twice? He is the same person today as he was then.

[theanonymous]

A moral decision. We owe it to humanity to vote for the candidate who protects life.

[claudiamm]

Mr Howard I caught that, "but um." BEEN WATCHING YOU, SEEMS LIKE FOREVER! What a career you have had. God bless you, Sir.
