Dennis Quaid | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Jake Gyllenhaal stepped out at D23 Expo this weekend to promote his new animated film Strange World!

The 41-year-old actor was joined by co-stars Dennis Quaid, Jaboukie Young-White, and Lucy Liu at the event on Friday (September 9) at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif.

Jake is appearing in a Disney animated film for the first time and he calls it a “dream come true.” The movie is about an incredible family who must get past their differences to save a strange world full of danger and surprises.

“Being here is so cool and to share this trailer for the first time,” he said (via Deadline). “I’ve always wanted to be in a Disney animated movie so it’s kind of a dream come true.”

Dennis added, “I love being part of the Disney family. It really has been very, very good to me. I play Jaeger Clade. I’m Searcher’s father and it’s a really different kind of character for me. He’s got huge calves, for one thing. Jaeger’s a world famous explorer in his strange world, an adventurer. He’s stubborn but he’s a lot of fun – opinionated but, you know, take him as he is.”

Dennis Quaid is spilling some behind the scenes secrets about his iconic “Dennis Quaid is here!” prank on The Ellen DeGeneres Show!

Back in 2008, Ellen instructed the actor to walk into a coffee shop on the Warner Bros. lot and make a number of strange statements in third person while placing his order.

“Dennis Quaid is here” went on to become a catchphrase for him, as well as the name of his official website.

But in a recent appearance on Ellen‘s show, Dennis shared that he almost said no to the prank.

Dennis Quaid is firing back at reports that he took part in a $300 million Donald Trump ad about the Coronavirus pandemic.

The campaign is reportedly to help the country “defeat despair” (and it’s important to mention that Dennis did praise Trump‘s response to the pandemic months ago).

Amid the backlash, Dennis took to Instagram to record a video explaining.

“It was in no way political,” Dennis said, adding he was not paid for his involvement. “I did a PSA for Dr. Anthony Fauci and he was kind enough to grant me an interview as well, and the interview and the PSA were about raising awareness of COVID-19 and what we can still do to prevent lives being lost to this terrible, terrible virus. It was about the importance of wearing a mask and social distancing and it was in no way political. In fact, Dr. Anthony Fauci and I both talked about it before that it was not to be political, as the virus is not political.”

Dennis captioned his video, “NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPOLITICIZED”

Donald Trump seems to have some celebrity support in the 2020 election.

Donald Trump‘s health department is reportedly launching an advertising campaign to to “defeat despair” about the coronavirus and Dennis Quaid is one of the celebrities who will appear in the ads.

The ad campaign is reportedly going to cost $300 million and will involve celebrities interviewing administration officials about the Trump administration’s response to the pandemic, according to Politico.

Quaid, who has previously praised Trump‘s handling of the pandemic, has been paired up with Dr. Anthony Fauci.

A spokesperson for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases confirmed that “[a]t the request of HHS, Dr. Fauci did an interview with Dennis Quaid for a PSA campaign.”

Gospel singer CeCe Winans did an interview with Surgeon General Jerome Adams. After the news went wide, she went on Instagram and said, “I was asked a couple of weeks ago to do an interview with the surgeon general, Jerome Adams, about the coronavirus. And this interview stresses how important it is for everyone to wear a mask, and it also gives us other instructions on how to get on the other side of this pandemic. It was not political at all. We have lost so many lives because of COVID-19. Let’s all do everything we can so we won’t lose any more. God bless you.”

It was reported that the Health and Human Services Department has also pursued Dr. Oz and Garth Brooks to appear in the campaign.

Dennis Quaid couldn’t help but adopt a black cat that was also named Dennis Quaid!

“It was really off the wall, but I just couldn’t resist. I had to,” the actor told WSLS. “I’m out to save all the Dennis Quaids of the world.”

“I was like there is no way this is real, like, someone is pranking us,” Danielle Ulmer, Lynchburg Humane Society, Adoption Center Manager, said when she received the call from the actor and his team.

“Maybe they should start naming animals in shelters after different celebrities and see who bites,” Dennis added.

Dennis co-hosts a podcast, The Pet Show, with Jimmy Jellinek, and Jimmy will be flying this week from Los Angeles to Lynchburg, Virginia to pick up the new pet.

Dennis had some big news happen in the past few months!

Lindsay Lohan reunited with most of her Parent Trap over the weekend for a virtual reunion that raised money for the World Central Kitchen.

During their virtual chat, Lindsay chatted with Dennis Quaid, Elaine Hendrix, Lisa Ann Walter, and Simon Kunz, along with director Nancy Meyers and writer-producer Charles Shyer with host Katie Couric about the movie.

After paying tributes to the late Natasha Richardson, Nancy and Charles opened up about casting Lindsay for the roles as Hallie and Annie.

“Within two or three minutes, we both knew she had the part,” Charles shared. “She was just amazing.”

Nancy added, “Putting aside how adorable she looked, she had that quality that just sort of leapt up at you and pulled you in. I think to be a movie star and to be the lead of a movie, you need to have that connection with the camera, that screen presence. We discovered a big star. We discovered somebody that everybody fell in love with.”

Dennis also admitted at one point that he thought there might have been two girls for the twins, only to find out it was just Lindsay.

“I had such a blast doing this movie. The first thing I remember was meeting Lindsay at some kind of screen test… I remember thinking, ‘Oh my gosh. This is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. Period. Forget that she’s 11 years old,’” he said.

He added, “I actually thought that there were two girls. I really did because your accent was so perfect… You were a natural. You just fell right into it.”
