No one will ever mistake actor Woody Harrelson for a conservative, but he isn’t a far-left liberal either. His unique ideology gives him insight into exactly how conservatives feel about far-left politics. The difference is he has a platform and isn’t afraid of being canceled, so he speaks his mind.
Harrelson grew up a Republican. In fact, in his youth, he canvassed for the GOP. He also went to the same school as Mike Pence. Woody is about to star in the miniseries White House Plumbers, which chronicles the Watergate scandal, and he had some interesting things to say to Esquire about his political views, and in particular, far-leftism.
Harrelson said to Esquire, via Breitbart: “I understand it. And there’s still a fear of communism. We still loathe Russia. There’s still all the concern about the liberal agenda. I get how this mentality develops. I’m really, basically, a little bit of both.”
Woody went on to elaborate on his opinion on both sides of the aisle and where he stands, especially in terms of liberalism: “There are things that the liberals do that I think, What fucking idiots. And then there’s also conservative ideology that strikes me as odd. I consider myself, really, an anarchist,”
Actor Woody Harrelson may not be a conservative, but he sure understands what conservatives feel sometimes about extreme leftism.

Woody went on to clarify that he is more of a Libertarian than a Democrat or Republican, and he explained how he came to that viewpoint: “I never see government work. It always seems to be working for the people who got you there. It’s businessmen working for bigger businessmen,” he said. “It’s not businessmen working for their constituents. I think government just usually sucks…am I wrong? Even the social programs, they do it reluctantly, and they’re just always trying to gobble back what they can from the social programs.”
Woody Harrelson is one of the rare Hollywood celebrities willing to call out the nonsense from both sides. He is also basically uncancelable. Why is he uncancelable? Because he doesn’t care. You can only be canceled if you care. It also doesn’t hurt that he is universally loved and has been a mainstay in movies and on television since his breakout role as Woody on “Cheers.”
If Harrelson were going to be canceled, he would have been after his controversial Saturday Night Live monologue when he spoke on lockdowns and big pharma. He had this to say about his SNL blowback: “Well, people told me it was, shall we say, ‘trending.’ No, I don’t look at that shit,” he said. “I feel like, ‘I said it on SNL.’ I don’t need to go further with it [pause]…other than to say — well, no, I won’t. Never mind. That’s enough… But it don’t change my life one bit. Not one bit, if the mainstream media wants to have a go at you, right? My life is still wonderful.”
Woody Harrelson is refreshingly honest and one of the seemingly best guys in Hollywood. We need more celebrities willing to point out the absurdities of today’s culture as Harrelson does.
