Vince Vaughn gets star on Hollywood Walk of Fame
Acting legend Vince Vaughn, joined by his family and actor Mel Gibson, was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Vince Vaughn is crashing the internet after a photo posted by The White House.
The “Wedding Crashers” alum, who played a Washington, D.C. divorce mediation attorney that crashed weddings to meet women opposite Owen Wilson in the 2005 film, is seemingly starring in a new role: visitor of President Donald Trump.
On Friday, the official White House Instagram account shared an apparent photo of Trump with the “Delivery Man” star at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. The shot was a spoofy movie poster inspired by the 2005 cult favorite.
“White House Crashers,” the poster read with “President Donald J. Trump & Vince Vaughn in the Oval Office” as the caption. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Vaughn for comment.
Vaughn and Trump have been pictured together previously. In 2020, a viral video showed Vaughn chatting with Trump at the national championship football game.
The video showed Vaughn sitting in box seats next to First Lady Melania Trump and the president. In the 31-second clip, Vaughn and the president spoke before shaking hands and then waving goodbye.
Both the Trumps and Vaughn smiled when the actor walked away. But later, he walked back the run-in during a 2020 profile in The Los Angeles Times.
“In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to; I’ve met Nancy Pelosi and was cordial to her as well,” Vaughn told the LA Times, adding that “it was the only time I’ve ever met him. We said hello. He was very personable. I didn’t get into policies.”
“I think people are more charged than ever about these things,” Vaughn continued. “But I don’t think most people take that stuff as seriously as the small percentage that’s making noise about it.”
He added: “I was raised with the idea that you could have different likes and beliefs, and you should respect and defend that in other people, not shout it down. The people you disagree with the most, you should stand up for their right to do that.”
