Trump joins star-studded audience at US Open: Here are the celebrities attending
President Trump attended the U.S. Open men’s singles final on Sunday between Italy’s Jannik Sinner and Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz, but wasn’t the only notable figure to attend the match.
A number of celebrities are also in attendance at the final in New York City, including some who are big-name critics of Trump.
Some of the celebrities who have voiced their opposition to the president in attendance include rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who once called Trump “the most dangerous candidate for president in” his lifetime and endorsed Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris in a video posted on Instagram.
“Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for president in my lifetime,” Springsteen said in the video. “His disdain for the sanctity of our Constitution, the sanctity of democracy, the sanctity of the rule of law and the sanctity of the peaceful transfer of power should disqualify him from the office of president, ever again.”
Trump has fired back at Springsteen.
“Never liked him, never liked his music, or his Radical Left Politics and, importantly, he’s not a talented guy — Just a pushy, obnoxious JERK, who fervently supported Crooked Joe Biden, a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President, who came close to destroying our Country,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social earlier this year.
Springsteen was seated near Sting, another superstar musician.
Actors present at the final included the movie star and comedian Kevin Hart, the producer and “Taxi” star Danny DeVito, Ben Stiller of “Severance” and David Duchovny of the “X-Files.”
Actress, comedian and “The Office” veteran Mindy Kaling was also there to watch the final, along with her “Office” co-star BJ Novak. “Freaky Friday” star Lindsay Lohan is also in the crowd.
Besides Springsteen and Sting, other musicians at the men’s final include Usher, who campaigned with Harris in Atlanta during her bid for the presidency last year, and Pink, who performed on the final night of last year’s Democratic National Convention (DNC). She also has a history of being a political advocate, with the singer taking part in a massive fundraising call after Harris announced her candidacy.
A number of celebrity athletes and coaches were also present for the final, including Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry and Philadelphia 76er Paul George of the NBA, and Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola.
