21 Recognizable People Who Might Make Good Presidents

7. Morgan Freeman

Being, without a doubt, one of the most outspoken and opinionated people in Hollywood, actor Morgan Freeman has proven over the years that he doesn’t have a problem with publicly sharing his opinion, no matter how controversial it might be.

Let’s not forget 2012, when Freeman said that he did not believe Barack Obama should be considered the first black president of the United States since he only has one black parent. Millions were infuriated by this comment, but Freeman remained completely unbothered – a valuable skill for any man or woman willing to run for office. What’s more, he has one of the most soothing voices anyone’s ever heard and a charming and charismatic personality that will appeal to pretty much anyone.

8. Stephen Colbert

Comedian and talk show host Stephen Colbert rose to fame as a mock news correspondent on Comedy Central’s The Daily Show before he got a chance to host his own spin-off The Colbert Report. He received acclaim in 2014 when he announced that he would be replacing David Letterman as host of CBS’ Late Show.

Colbert is notable as being one of the most prominent political satirists around and where there’s good satire, there’s also a good understanding of how things work. In fact, in 2008, he even announced that he was running for US presidency and many Americans genuinely believed in his plan to bring “truthiness” to the country. Sadly, he didn’t make it to the White House, but we’re certain he would be a great president.

9. Angelina Jolie

Let’s be honest, we need gorgeous and charming women on the political scene and Angelina Jolie is definitely gorgeous beyond belief and as charming as it gets. More importantly, Angelina has already shown that she has some basic insight on how matters are handled when it comes to politics.

Even though her political stance has left a lot of people bewildered, Jolie has become one of Hollywood’s most famous do-gooders. Angelina doesn’t have a problem with standing up for a good cause and she has been to all four corners of the world in an attempt to make our planet a better place. She even openly criticized Barack Obama in 2014, showing that she’s not afraid to openly express her opinion. Let’s not forget that she said that she was open to a career in politics.
