"When Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo was released in 1999, the renowned film critic Roger Ebert wrote, It's the kind of picture those View n' Brew theaters were made for, as long as you don't view. When the sequel Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo came out in 2005, Ebert was harsher still, describing it as aggressively bad, as if it wants to cause suffering to the audience. Playing the title role of a tropical fish tank-cleaner-turned-gigolo was Rob Schneider."
"Over the past few years, Schneider has worked to establish himself as a leading conservative voice, railing against Hollywood's supposed liberal bias. A frequent guest on Fox News, he has spoken publicly against diversity, equity, and inclusion policies and is vocally anti-trans and anti-vaccine. In a recent opinion piece, he claimed, Since the rise of the woke' movement, and its total domination of the creative industries, anyone with a conservative point of view has been punished and even blacklisted."
Rob Schneider, former Hollywood comedic actor known for Deuce Bigalow, has shifted into high-profile conservative activism. Schneider has regularly appeared on Fox News, criticized diversity, equity, and inclusion policies, and expressed anti-trans and anti-vaccine views. Schneider recorded a campaign video endorsing Hungary's far-right Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The endorsement video also featured other international right-wing figures, such as Giorgia Meloni, Benjamin Netanyahu, Mateusz Morawiecki, Javier Milei, Jean-Marie Le Pen, and Matteo Salvini. The involvement of U.S. celebrity figures and multiple foreign leaders underscores Hungary's role as a hub for coordination and legitimation within the global far right.
