Director Steven Spielberg has created many movies about aliens and government cover-ups, including his latest release, “Disclosure Day.” However, he is far from the only Hollywood star who believes that aliens exist. Several celebrities not only believe in aliens but also claim to have seen one for themselves.
In one of the last episodes of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” the “E.T.” director said that he doesn’t just believe in aliens – he wants to be the ambassador when they eventually reach Earth.
“I think I should represent… I mean, my whole thing is it should be me!” Spielberg said, garnering cheers from the audience. It prompted host Stephen Colbert to respond, “Everybody wants the gig.”
Former U.S. President Barack Obama has also said that he wants the role of Earth’s alien ambassador; however, Spielberg insists he’s more qualified.
“I think the whole thing is, I made Close Encounters,” he said. “My first alien movie, I was 17 years old, was called Firelight, an 8-millimeter. I made E.T. and I co-produced Men in Black and War of the Worlds.”
“Now you’re just bragging,” Colbert joked, to which Spielberg insisted he wasn’t bragging.
“Here’s the point I’m trying to make: I’ve made all these movies where I’ve kind of played an ambassadorial role. They’ve never shown themselves to me,” he said, then asked, “Why is that? It’s so unfair.”
Tom Cruise Also Believes In Aliens
In 2005, Spielberg directed “War of the Worlds,” which starred Tom Cruise. While promoting the film, Cruise said, “Of course,” he believes in aliens when asked.
“Are you really so arrogant as to believe we are alone in this universe?” Cruise said to a German newspaper, which was translated by CNN. “Millions of stars, and we’re supposed to be the only living creatures? No, there are many things out there, we just don’t know.”
Halle Berry Thinks There’s ‘Other Life Out There’
Actress Halle Berry starred in two seasons of the CBS sci-fi drama “Extant,” which was produced by Spielberg and his Amblin Television production company.
While attending the show’s premiere in 2014, Berry told the Los Angeles Times that she is a believer. “I’m not so egotistical to think that we’re the only ones living in this vast, vast universe,” Berry said at the time. “I do think there’s other life out there.”
Woody Harrelson Tells Stephen Colbert About His Own Encounter
Spielberg isn’t the only one opening up to Stephen Colbert about his experience with aliens! Actor Woody Harrelson told the host he’s “open-minded” when asked about his belief in aliens.
“I wasn’t abducted. Or maybe I was abducted and forgot,” he joked before revealing that he had his first brush with what he suspected was a UFO when he was a teenager living in Ohio in 1974.
“Suddenly I noticed, like everybody’s out in the street, and so I went out, and we looked up. It was nighttime, and there were these lights that were just kind of blinking, and then it would just shoot all the way across the sky,” he recalled. “And then there’d be one over there, shoot over here, and there were several. They just kept going across the sky.”
“Everybody, we watched it for a while, it took a few minutes, and then finally just, whoosh, went somewhere else. Some other world,” he continued. “Nobody talked about it. Literally, everybody just went inside and said nothing. It was so freaky, even for me, as young as I was.”
Miley Cyrus Claims She Was ‘Chased Down’ By A UFO
While speaking with fashion designer Rick Owens for Interview Magazine in 2020, Miley Cyrus claims that she was “chased down by some sort of UFO” while driving through San Bernardino with a friend.
“The best way to describe it is a flying snowplow,” she continued. “It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow. I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too. There were a couple of other cars on the road, and they also stopped to look, so I think what I saw was real.”
That being said, she did admit that she had “bought weed wax from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop, so it could have been the weed wax.” However, the experience affected her so badly that she said she was “shaken” for five days.
“I couldn’t really look at the sky the same,” she said. “I thought they might come back.”
