Ron Paul has another friend in Hollywood.

Director Oliver Stone declared his support for Paul’s presidential bid in a recent interview with Rock Cellar Magazine.

Discussing the 2012 race, Stone said, “In fact, I think in many ways the most interesting candidate — I’d even vote for him if he was running against Obama — is Ron Paul. Because he’s the only one of anybody who’s saying anything intelligent about the future of the world.”

Later in the interview, Stone complimented Paul again, asking: “Why is it necessary for every candidate — except for Ron Paul — to pay obeisance to this hypocrisy that the U.S. is a good force in the world, and that it is the dominant force, and can be the policeman of the world? Since when? What gave us that right?”
