EXCLUSIVE – When the “Goonies” actor Robert David He was asked about the sequel to CUL 1980s Classic, he shared some concerns about whether he was going to receive the call to revive his character Jake Fratelli.
The 1985 adventure comedy, which follows a group of children who discover a map for the hidden treasure, is loved to this day. Fratelli de Davi is the Mama Fratelli’s criminal son and Francis’s brother and Sloth. He has some memorable scenes in the movie, even when he tries to sing an Italian opera. The original fans were excited this week when the new reports seemed to confirm that a sequel was now in process, with Steven Spielberg to the helm as a producer.
But Davi’s policy can complicate things, he suggested in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. He has been one of the relatively few conservatives open in Hollywood in recent years, and is the same openness that, according to Davi, could cost him a place in the cast “Goonies 2”.

“We will see,” he told Fox Digital. “We’ll see if they relive Jake Fratelli, or the Fratelli brothers somehow. I hope. I hope. I would love to be part of it because it is such an iconic movie that people around the world still contact me in ‘Goonies.’
Film fans Even so, he approaches him today, he said, before worrying about how his conservatism could work against him in the future of the franchise.
“And the fun part is that Dick Donner, the director, originally said, when we made the movie, he said, he says: ‘This is going to be like the magician of Oz’ today,” Davi added. “And it has become that for many, many people. And I get multiple generational families that approach me and tell me how much the ‘thugs’ love and how much they love Jake Fratelli because they put the song there. I hope to be part of that.
Davi explained that not receiving the call was a concern because it had happened before.
“I’m worried about that, yes,” he said. “Because it has happened in other issues, other projects. And it is alone, you know, I believe in freedom of expression and not be politically correct all the time.”

Fox News Digital has communicated with Warner Bros. and Amblin Entertainment to comment.
Davi told Fox Digital that he has been proudly pro-President Donald Trump Since the current president began his political career.
“I have written about that since 2015, from the day he announced that it was Pro-Trump,” he said.
Davi continues to encourage the president today, praising Trump for his choice of ambassadors by Hollywood.
“It is an honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson and Sylvester Stallone, to be special ambassadors of a large but very problematic place, Hollywood, California,” Trump wrote on his social platform of truth in January.
“They will serve as special envoys in order to bring Hollywood, which has lost many businesses in the last four years to foreign countries, back, better and stronger than ever!”

Davi, who said he is friendly with the three actors, welcomed the commission.
“And I think it’s excellent to have a committee,” he said. “I was also frustrated by my own selfish reasons, of course, because I had wanted something like that. And I had mentioned it to some of the administrative years or in the campaign, having a Hollywood committee. Now, what the president has said is to bring Back the business too, because we are losing many businesses in Hollywood, which is true. “
Trump, Musk emphasizes the importance of ‘total transparency’ in Dux’s efforts

Trump, he said, has especially dominated the last article, recently revealing the Government Efficiency Department (Doge) with Elon Musk to the helm.
“Trump has been talking about getting under the hood for decades in terms of waste that is happening in our government and worldwide,” Davi said. “And now we have someone who says: expect a second, how much better will the American people be if we can eliminate all this?”
