Summary
Johnson said in Esquire's Summer Issue that he is keeping his politics private, arguing public debate is dominated by "slinging" and "bulls---" rather than productive discussion.
The 54-year-old actor said his 2020 endorsement of Joe Biden taught him celebrity political backing can deepen division, leading him to rule out any endorsement in the 2024 election.
Asked about Bruce Springsteen's onstage attacks on Donald Trump, Johnson said the singer and the president should "sit down and talk," calling direct conversation an important first step.
Johnson, who identifies as an Independent, has increasingly framed his stance as a rejection of cancel culture and partisan activism while focusing on his work in film and storytelling.
