Some are giving some serious thought to the idea, while others are making the statements in jest, but only one has really moved forward with this political aspiration.

AceShowbiz - Ron Perlman is another person who was out of nowhere showing an interest in becoming a president. In November 2016, the "Hellboy" actor posted on his social media account, "I am hereby using my immense Twitter presence to announce my candidacy for President of United States, 2020." Taking it to the next level, the "Sons of Anarchy" alum followed-up the tweet with some fake campaign posters that read, "Vote for Perl or Go to Hell."
It later turned out that he was joking with the presidential bid announcement, but his purpose was sincere in bringing attention to the assault on democracy coming out of Washington. "We're in a very dangerous, very degraded moment in time where the values that everybody who came before us fought and died for are all being tromped upon. For no good end except power and greed," he told IndieWire. Stressing how serious the situation is, he added, "If we don't get our s**t together quickly, we're in danger of ending our days. I feel it's that serious."
