Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney can count Angelina Jolie's famous father Jon Voight among his celeb supporters.

The 73-year-old actor and well-known conservative is speaking out while at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, slamming President Barack Obama and comparing him to Venezuela's socialist President Hugo Chavez.

"The media has been taken over by this administration," Voight told The Daily Caller.

"It's not less than what has happened in Venezuela with Hugo Chavez, really, because you can't get the information through," he said. "I'm giving you this because I want to get the press my opinion. You can put it in any way you want to. But, it's become pure propaganda and we should be appalled."
