As the 2020 presidential election gets closer and closer, we see more and more celebrities using their platforms to endorse the candidates that they are voting for.
Even celebrities who don't often choose to get political are coming out of their shells to encourage their fans to vote, and legendary comedy icon Mel Brooks is one of the most recent ones to do so.
The director, actor, writer, producer, and composer is famous for his comedic genius in works like The Producers, Blazing Saddles, The Twelve Chairs, Young Frankenstein, and Spaceballs.
Mel doesn't often get political, but it looks like 2020 is the year that that changes.
"My father, @MelBrooks, is 94. He has never made a political video. Until now," Mel's son, author Max Brooks, tweeted.
The video shows Mel sitting down with a mug that reads "Cup of Joe" while his son and grandson stand behind him outside through a window.
"They can't be with me," Mel continues. "Why? Because of this coronavirus, and Donald Trump's not doing a damn thing about it."
"I'm voting for Joe Biden," Mel explains. "I like Joe. Why do I like Joe? Because Joe likes facts, because Joe likes science. Joe will keep us going."
