Jon Voight Rejects $20 Million NFL Ad Offer with Robert De Niro, Says “Never Work with Woke Creep”

Jon Voight, the acclaimed Academy Award-winning actor, has made headlines with his bold rejection of a lucrative $20 million offer from the NFL. The offer was part of an advertising campaign for the 2025 NFL season, which will kick off in Berlin, Germany. Voight was reportedly approached to join fellow actor Robert De Niro in a high-profile commercial for the season’s opening event, but the actor turned it down, citing his strong opposition to what he called the “woke” culture associated with De Niro and the current entertainment industry.

The offer, which was part of a larger marketing campaign designed to promote the NFL’s international expansion, was an attempt to generate excitement for the 2025 season opener in Berlin. The ad would have featured the two Hollywood legends, alongside some of the league’s top players, to celebrate the start of the NFL season and its growing global presence. The league had hoped that the combination of Voight and De Niro, two prominent and well-known figures in Hollywood, would draw attention to the event and give the campaign a significant cultural boost.
