"Shazam!" actor Zachary Levi is giving "Snow White" star Rachel Zegler the benefit of the doubt despite her infamous social media post wishing for Trump voters to "never know peace."In a new interview with Variety, Levi defended Zegler from the backlash she received for her outspoken liberal views, including her remarks about supporters of President Donald Trump following the 2024 election. Levi and Zegler co-starred in "Shazam! Fury of The Gods" in 2023."But I think that we have got to recognize that a lot of times peoples decisions are predicated upon the bad information that theyre being fed on a regular basis," Levi said.ACTOR ZACHARY LEVI ENCOURAGES 'CLOSETED CONSERVATIVES' IN HOLLYWOOD TO SPEAK OUT: 'IT'S NOW OR NEVER'Zegler has been at the center of a public firestorm over the past few years, after making several political and controversial statements throughout the production of Disney's recent live-action "Snow White" remake.In one instance, Zegler criticized the original animated "Snow White" for its more traditional values. She called to "Free Palestine" while promoting the films trailer, which ignited backlash for her and Disney. After Donald Trump won the 2024 election, she condemned his voters."May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace," she posted on social media shortly after the Trump's victory, adding "F--- Donald Trump."She later apologized for her comment. Zeglers outspokenness was seen as a major factor that contributed to the remake of "Snow White"s dismal box office performance earlier this year.SNOW WHITE' REBOOT STAR RESPONDS TO BACKLASH OVER HER COMMENTS CRITICIZING ORIGINAL 1937 FILM: MADE ME SADDespite Zeglers comments about Trump voters, Levi told Variety he didnt hold them against her."So should I hate her because shes downstream of all of these voices that are telling her that hes Hitler and the people who vote for him are Nazis? Shes a really talented girl, and I do think that she wants the best for the world deep down," he said.Variety also detailed how Levis political coming out was hard for many of his Hollywood friends to accept. He created controversy in Hollywood with his public skepticism of the COVID-19 vaccine, and generated further outrage by becoming an RFK Jr. supporter, and ultimately a Trump supporter, after Kennedy threw his support behind the GOP nominee.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREThe outlet spoke to Robert Duncan McNeill, Levis friend, who directed him on twenty episodes of the TV show "Chuck." Although theyre still friends, McNeill said it has been tough to overlook Levis views."I love Zach dearly, but I dont want in any way for our friendship and my feelings about him as a human to be an endorsement of his politics because I vehemently disagree with them," McNeill said. "But hes an unusual friend in my life. He sometimes can be more of a bleeding-heart liberal than I am, which shocks me. Zach walks the walk in a lot of ways better than me."On the other hand, Levis Broadway co-star Laura Bananti wants nothing to do with him after he suggested the death of a fellow castmate was exacerbated by the COVID vaccine.Variety recalled how after Levi made the suggestion, she said on a podcast, "I never liked him. Everyone was like, Hes so great! And I was like, No, hes not. Hes sucking up all the f---ing energy in this room. He wants to mansplain everybodys part to them.'"She added, "He really sucked everybody in with his dance party energy, like, Were doing a dance party at half-hour. I was like, Good luck, have fun."
