Stanley Tucci Slams Trump While Premiering 'Final Portrait' at Berlin International Film Festival

Stanley Tucci is speaking out about President Donald Trump‘s alleged plans to cut arts funding.

The 56-year-old actor and director suited up for the premiere and photo call of his latest directing project, Final Portrait, at the 2017 Berlin International Film Festival on Saturday (February 11) in Berlin, Germany.

He was joined by his wife Felicity Blunt as well as the film’s stars Armie Hammer, Geoffrey Rush, and Clemence Poesy.

“I can only imagine with this administration, if they have their way, they would eviscerate the National Endowment for the Arts, which would be devastating on so many levels,” Stanley said at the premiere.

“I don’t think our film can influence the president in any way, shape, or form,” he added. “There, government has always had an ambiguous relationship to the arts in the U.S. … Art should be an intrinsic part of life, but many people don’t see art as an important part of education. This administration may not even see education as important.”

FYI: Armie is wearing a Brunello Cucinelli suit and Salvatore Ferragamo shoes at the premiere. He is wearing a Vince sweater at the photo call.
