Summary
Before entering politics, Donald Trump built a surprisingly extensive entertainment profile, appearing as himself in films and television shows including ‘Home Alone 2’, ‘Zoolander’, ‘Sex and the City’ and ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’. He also played Waldo’s father in ‘The Little Rascals’. His Hollywood appearances have since attracted renewed attention and criticism. Director Chris Columbus has called Trump's ‘Home Alone 2’ cameo a regrettable burden, claiming Trump insisted on appearing in exchange for allowing filming at the Plaza Hotel, although Trump disputes this account. Meanwhile, Stephen Colbert has mocked Trump's pop-culture legacy and proposed honours, while filmmaker Woody Allen praised his acting ability after directing him in ‘Celebrity’ (1998), describing him as polite and naturally suited to show business despite strongly disagreeing with his politics.
