'White House Crashers': Vince Vaughn visits Oval Office
Share and Follow


Actor Vince Vaughn became the latest celebrity to visit President Trump in the Oval Office, creating a moment of levity Friday for the White House social media team.

The official White House account on social platform X posted a mock movie poster featuring a photo of Vaughn and Trump at the Resolute Desk with the title “White House Crashers,” in a nod to Vaughn’s starring role in the 2005 comedy “Wedding Crashers.”

The White House didn’t formally list Vaughn’s visit on the president’s schedule for reporters.

In a New York Times Magazine profile last year, Vaughn acknowledged he’s a libertarian and described himself as a “believer more in allowing individuals to make choices.”

“I’d rather say let people make their choices, and they can make different choices and have the consequences of their choices,” he said of his political views.

Vaughn, 55, and Trump have been friendly in the past. They were spotted together at the 2020 College Football Playoff National Championship game in New Orleans, but Vaughn later said the public reaction was overblown and he had only met Trump at the game.

“In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to,” he told the Los Angeles Times in an interview later that year. “I don’t have a party that I support and endorse. In fact, for me sometimes it’s difficult to find a candidate that you feel is philosophically consistent and not just going along with whoever is funding their particular party.”

It’s unclear why Vaughn was with Trump on Friday. The White House didn’t immediately respond to The Hill’s request for additional information.

Trump has hosted an eclectic assortment of popular athletes, conservative celebrities and other notable figures at the White House since returning to office in January.
