While John McCain may be making fun of Barack Obama for being a celebrity, one celebrity friend they both want to claim is Angelina Jolie. Both campaigns have even reached out to her, apparently to court her support. However, Jolie remains undecided and reveals in a statement to Variety provided by political adviser Trevor Neilson; that she is waiting to make up her mind.
“I have not decided on a candidate,” Jolie says, “I am waiting to see the commitments they will make on issues like international justice, refugees and how to address the needs of children in crisis around the world.”
Unlike many other celebrity endorsements, Jolie’s carries the weight and influence of her extensive humanitarian work around the world, as the goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Her statement was an indication that she would be open to choosing a candidate.
Who do you think that Jolie will put her support behind?
