Overview

• Appearing on Bill Maher’s Club Random, Woody Allen, 89, called Donald Trump "a pleasure to work with" and "a very good actor" based on directing him in 1998’s Celebrity.
• Allen said he is a Democrat who voted for Kamala Harris and that he disagrees with Trump on the vast majority of issues.
• He added that he would like to direct Trump again, saying he could "do wonders" if given the chance.
• In Celebrity, Trump played himself in a brief scene that jokingly referenced tearing down St. Patrick’s Cathedral for a "very tall and beautiful" building.
• At least one outlet reported that Trump reposted coverage of the remarks on Truth Social as media framed the exchange alongside Allen’s long-standing misconduct allegations and cancel-culture debates.
