Hollywood, known for cultivating characters, greenlighting mega blockbuster stories, and investing millions into making them a success, appears to be closely following the Pete Buttigieg storyline.
"Hollywood loves an underdog story, he's an unlikely hero," said one senior entertainment executive adding that he was struck by the fact Buttigieg was exactly the same person in front of a room full of entertainment executives and actors, as he was on cable news.
"He’s a unicorn candidate, a gay veteran Christian who is a mayor. When are you ever going to get that combination in one person? He appeals to a diverse population. His own personal story feels like a storybook fairytale,” said West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tempore Lindsey Horvath, a co-host of a large fundraising event for Buttigieg on Thursday.
