The acclaimed Oscar-winning movie producer Brian Grazer has made headlines by publicly declaring his choice to vote for Donald Trump in the highly anticipated 2024 presidential election, a significant shift from his previous support for Democrat candidates.
At 73 years old, the celebrated producer, who is also known as the uncle of It actor Jack Dylan Grazer, is prominently featured in the new Fox Nation documentary series Art of the Surge, which explores various aspects of contemporary political and cultural narratives.
According to a report from The New York Times, Grazer was photographed with Trump during the Army-Navy football game held in December 2024, just weeks after the election results were announced, highlighting his evolving political stance.
In the documentary, Grazer candidly shares his feelings of being “canceled” after revealing his voting choice to a group of women he knows, illustrating the societal pressures surrounding political affiliations.

“All the women looked at me and said, ‘You mean, you’re not voting for Kamala?’ To which I replied, ‘I just can’t do that,’” Grazer recounted during the documentary. “Then, one of them leaned in further and asked, ‘Are you voting for Trump?’ and I confirmed, ‘I am.’ I swear!”
In a follow-up conversation with The New York Times, Grazer explained his decision, stating, “As a centrist, I could sense and observe Biden’s deterioration and the evident lack of direction within the Democratic Party at that time, prompting my choice.”
Notably, Grazer had previously supported Kamala Harris during her Senate campaign over ten years ago, showcasing the complexity and evolution of his political beliefs.
With a remarkable career, Grazer won an Oscar for producing the critically acclaimed film A Beautiful Mind, and co-founded Imagine Entertainment alongside renowned director Ron Howard. His extensive filmography includes iconic titles such as Apollo 13, The Nutty Professor, Liar Liar, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Inside Man, The Da Vinci Code, American Gangster, Cowboys & Aliens, Tower Heist, Tick Tick Boom, among many others.
