Woody Allen didn’t vote for Donald Trump … but, it seems he’s got support if the guy ever wants back into showbusiness — ’cause he’s a great professional actor!

The Hollywood legend stopped by Bill Maher‘s ‘Club Random’ podcast and opened up about directing the President of the United States in his 1998 movie celebrity.

🚨NEW: Dem Filmmaker Woody Allen — who once directed Trump — *HEAPS PRAISE* on president’s acting🚨

“He was a pleasure to work with and a very good actor. He was very polite and hit his mark and did everything correctly and had a real flair for show business.”@DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/tNJMzcjq46

Allen shouted out the president’s professionalism … saying he was polite to everyone on the set — and giving his acting a thumb’s up.

Maher tells Allen his comments will offend some people … and, Woody clarifies that he doesn’t agree with Trump on policy. In fact, he voted for Kamala Harris — but, that doesn’t change his past interactions with the prez.

Woody jokes that his greatest wish is to direct President Trump in the Oval Office … and institute a few more liberal policies — fat chance of that!

Maher calls politics the ultimate acting gig … and, Allen agrees — but he says the persona doesn’t bother him, just the policies.

Bottom line … Allen says, “I can only judge what I know from directing him in film. And he was pleasant to work, and with very professional, very polite to everyone.”

To be fair … both DJT and Woody are on the outside of Hollywood looking in these days — but, sounds like there might be a chance for the two to collaborate down the road. Stay tuned!
