Chairman of the Board of Directors and former head of the company Disney Bob Iger is applying for the post of Ambassador of the United States of America. This is reported by the sources of the publication. The Hollywood Reporter…

New US President Joe Biden is now forming its own administration and a list of people who should take key posts. Iger, who donated about $ 250,000 to the Democratic candidate’s electoral fund, turned out to be one of the favorites.
According to preliminary data, Bob Iger may be offered a responsible post of ambassador to one of the two countries. We are talking about the UK or China. In the latter case, insiders point to the fact that the ex-head of Disney has established effective cooperation with Beijing. Biden himself does not share Trump’s belligerent anti-Chinese rhetoric.
Bob Iger’s contract expires at the end of December 2023. He suddenly left the post of the head of Disney in February 2023, appointing a nominal successor in the person of Bob Chapek…
Apparently, Iger expected to leave the company at the zenith of fame. 2019 turned out to be a super successful year for Mickey Mouse, and an imminent recession was predicted in 2023. At the same time, the 69-year-old top manager did not hide his presidential ambitions, hoping to compete for the post of head of state in 2024.
The pandemic came as a complete surprise to Disney, which spent on the purchase of the film division Fox $ 71 billion. Cinemas, shops and amusement parks had to close, and the streaming platform was the only bright spot Disney +…
The crisis canceled out Iger’s achievements, forcing him to push Chapek aside in order to stabilize the situation. A restructuring of Disney’s business is in full swing, in the course of which nearly 30,000 people have lost their jobs. This seriously hit the credibility of the company, and Biden also used the dismissals in his favor (one of the election videos was devoted to this topic).

You need to understand that the post of ambassador in London is an excellent electoral platform. This position was occupied by six people, who eventually received the keys to the White House.
Ambassador from Shrek
Bob Iger may be accompanied by his longtime opponent – the founder DreamWorks and ex-head of the board of directors of Disney Jeffrey Katzenberg… He is also an active sponsor of the US Democratic Party and is running for the post of ambassador.
The job change will come in handy for Katzenberg. His streaming platform crashed in 2023 Quibi, for the development of which $ 1.75 billion was attracted.
The top manager himself blames the pandemic for the failure, but the idea of an app with 10-minute movies and TV shows that had to be watched on the phone in an upright position initially looked extremely silly.
From Hollywood to politics
Bob Iger and Jeffrey Katzenberg are not the only Hollywood ambassadors who can move to work at the US State Department. The post of ambassador in one of the European countries must be received by the producer Matt Walden (head husband Walt disney television Dana Walden), who is a close family friend of the new vice president Kamala Harris…

A diplomatic post is promised and Nicole Avant – wife of the commercial director of Netflix Teda Sarandosa. The couple are generally the main sponsors of the new President of the United States, for they donated about 700 thousand dollars for the election campaign.
