President Joe Biden, 81, is gearing up for his upcoming State of the Union address and has sought guidance from actors who have portrayed presidents in TV and film. The actors include Michael Douglas, Geena Davis, Bill Pullman, Morgan Freeman, and Tony Goldwyn.
Biden humorously mentioned on social media that he had never spoken to so many presidents at one time and expressed his interest in hearing from those who have 'done the job before - sort of.'
During the video exchange, Freeman, known for his role in Deep Impact, emphasized the importance of hope in his advice to Biden. Goldwyn, who portrayed President Fitzgerald Grant III in Scandal, advised Biden to prioritize the people and referenced the importance of self-improvement.
Davis, who starred in Commander in Chief, joked about facing new crises weekly during her term and referenced her famous line from A League of Their Own. Douglas, known for his role in The American President, highlighted the significance of love and compassion in leadership.
Pullman, famous for Independence Day, shared a unifying message from his film and emphasized the importance of unity in the face of challenges.
President Biden is set to deliver his address to a joint session of Congress at the U.S. Capitol on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. The advice from these Hollywood presidents offers a lighthearted yet insightful perspective on leadership and the presidency.
