Lauren Holly Speaks Out on Dennis Quaid’s Political Stance After Air Force One Appearance
Lauren Holly slammed her “Any Given Sunday” castmate after he appeared at a public event with the president on Friday.
Lauren Holly is making headlines after publicly criticizing former co-star Dennis Quaid’s political alignment following his recent Air Force One trip. The actress didn’t hold back when sharing her thoughts on social media.
After Sen. Ted Cruz shared a photo of himself with Quaid aboard Air Force One on social media on Friday, journalist Yashar Ali shared the same photo on Threads, prompting Holly to offer her two cents in the replies.
“At least I got to slap him real hard in Any Given Sunday,” wrote the actress, who had a strained onscreen marriage with Quaid in the 1999 football drama.
Holly also responded to a video of Quaid saying “I love Donald Trump” during a public appearance with the president in Corpus Christi, Tex., on Friday.
“It’s crazy to me at this point,” Holly wrote.
The actress also endorsed and replied to a post labeling Quaid a fascist. “Watching @laurenholly comment on all the Dennis Quiad capitulation is top tier @threads energy. Make fascists uncomfortable by any means possible…” a user wrote.
“Any means….” Holly responded.
Representatives for Quaid did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment.
Prior to the Corpus Christi event, Cruz shared a video of Quaid seated at a table with Trump on Air Force One.
“I’d like to ask President Reagan what you think of President Trump,” the Texas senator says in the clip.
Quaid, who portrayed Ronald Reagan in the 2024 biopic Reagan, slipped into character as the 40th U.S. president. “I think he’s like me on steroids, actually,” he said of Trump in his Reagan voice.
“An historic conversation on AF1 between TWO great American Presidents….” Cruz wrote in his caption.
Quaid previously said he planned to vote for Trump in the 2024 election. “As president, the only thing I liked about Trump was everything he did,” the Rookie star said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “People might call him an a–hole, but he’s my a–hole.”
Quaid recently described Trump as “very surprisingly approachable,” “very funny,” and “really genuine” during an interview with Greg Laurie on The Greg Laurie Show.
“He wouldn’t be president if he wasn’t genuine,” the actor said. “Because people, the people who voted for him, they know that he has their best interests at heart, that he is a genuine person.”
