This Hollywood Superstar Has Become A 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' Therapist

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Hollywood legend recounted how he had to give Larson a pep talk to help her cope with the shocking political upset that had left many Hollywood liberals angry.

Jackson, who has played the comic book character Nick Fury in numerous Marvel movies, including "Captain Marvel," alongside Larson, who portrayed the titular superhero, described how they bonded over the election while filming another movie for Netflix.

"We had done Kong together, which was not the most wonderful experience for either of us. We became great friends during that particular experience because we were having such a hard time," Jackson said. "Then, when she was doing her movie [Unicorn Store] and trying to get a particular actor, I was in the makeup trailer with her and was like, 'Why are you trying to hire this other actor and not trying to get me to do your movie?' She said, 'I didn't think you'd ever do it… so, will you?' And I was like, 'Let's do it.'"

Jackson revealed that Trump's victory profoundly affected Larson, and he had to motivate her to push through it. "Then, we bonded through the election while doing her movie when Donald Trump won. I said she was broken, "Don't let them break you. You have to be strong now," he said.

Larson received criticism for highlighting and stressing the importance of diversity in movies when "Captain Marvel" was released. At the time, the actress leaned into the diversity-pushing elements of her film, which was Marvel's first solo-female-led movie up until that point. "I'm happy to be on the forefront of the normalization of this type of content and to prove once again that representation matters. Diverse storytelling matters, the female experience matters, and these are markers," she told the press.

The statement, among others, spurred backlash from some fans, which Jackson dismissed as "dudes who hate strong women." "But she's not going to let any of that stuff destroy her. These incel dudes who hate strong women, or the fact that she's a feminist who has an opinion and expressed it? Everybody wants people to be who they want them to be. She is who she is, and she's genuinely that," he said.

Jackson also had some choice words for the former President and current GOP front-runner, claiming that Trump represents the same racist "rednecks" he grew up with. "When I see Trump, I see the same rednecks I saw when I was growing up who called me "n----r" and tried to keep me in my place. That's what the Republican Party is to me. They're doing it to young people, gay people. They don't care who you are. If you're not them, you're the enemy," he said.
