Mel Brooks shot his first election video at the age of 94 and finds clear words in it: "Donald Trump won't lift a damn finger."
It's never too late to fight for your beliefs. American comedy legend Mel Brooks proves this at the age of 94 in a video on Twitterpublished by his son Max Brooks (48). In it, according to Max, his world-famous father can be seen at a premiere. Because the "Spaceballs" maker has never "recorded a political video – until now".
In the clip, Mel Brooks is sitting in front of a glass door that leads into his garden. His son Max and his son, Henry Michael (15), are standing outside, separated from him by the window. "This is my son and my grandson. You cannot be with me," said Mel Brooks. "Why? Because of the coronavirus. And Donald Trump won't lift a damn finger."
"Dead can't do much"
The comedian then strikes up an unusually serious tone for him: "So many people have died. And when you're dead, you can't do much anymore." At these words, Mel Brooks picks up the Joe Biden mug in front of him and says, "That's why I choose Joe Biden. I like Joe, and do you know why? Because Joe likes facts, because Joe likes science. Take so this advice from me: vote for Joe! "
Of course, Mel Brooks' election video cannot do without comedy. After his urgent appeal, he shooed the relatives out of his front yard with the words: "Okay, you can go now. Thank you! See you." And directed at the camera he whispers: "I have to fill out my ballot now."
