UFC president Dana White has been an unabashed supporter of President Donald Trump, speaking at multiple Republican conventions in support of his election campaigns.
White might be loudest and proudest Trump supporter in the sports world, but he said the average person would be "shocked" if they knew which celebrities were actually "closet supporters" of the president.

Actor Dennis Quaid previously called out Hollywood’s "double standard" on Trump support in March.
"There's either ‘F Trump’ from the other side or ‘I love Trump’ from a few of us who speak about it," he told Fox News Digital.
He continued, "Of course, there's a double standard, but there's a double standard on everything. You’ve got common sense, and then you’ve got like some kind of whipped-up scenario where, you know, it might be true, you know, that I could compete in women's sports or, you know, that I could, whatever, vote twice or whatever it is."
