<p>Although Hollywood filmmaker Woody Allen isn't a supporter of President Donald Trump, he told comedian Bill Maher that Trump was a "pleasure to work with" on a movie set.</p>
<p>On the latest episode of Maher's "Club Random" podcast posted Monday, Allen recalled directing Trump in his 1998 film "Celebrity" and praised the former president's cameo.</p>
<p>"No, I'm not a Trumper. I'm one of the few people who can say he directed Trump. I directed Trump in a movie… in 'Celebrity.' And he was, you know, he was a pleasure to work with and a very good actor," the 89-year-old director told Maher.</p>

<p>Playing himself, Trump appeared in a scene with actress Judy Davis, where he discussed tearing down St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City and replacing it with a "very, very tall and beautiful building."</p>
<p>"He was very polite and hit his mark and did everything correctly and had a real flair for show business," Allen recalled.</p>

<p>Maher joked, "How dare you?"</p>
<p>"Oh, if you think you were canceled before," Maher added sarcastically, apparently referencing the sexual misconduct allegations against Allen, which Allen has denied.</p>

<p>Allen quipped, "I wish I could direct him now. If he would let me direct him now that he's president, I think I could do wonders."</p>
<p>"But he was very easy to work with," Allen continued.</p>
<p>Maher agreed that Trump is different when he's not acting as a politician. Maher, who has long been one of the president's fiercest critics, met with Trump at the White House earlier this year and spoke positively about their encounter.</p>
<p>"Yeah, he's different in person, and when you say that, people who are purely emotional get very upset, even though it's just the truth. We're just saying the truth," Maher told Allen.</p>

<p>The filmmaker emphasized that he did not vote for Trump in the last election.</p>
<p>"Well, you know, I'm a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris," Allen said. "And I take issue with him on, you know, 95% of the things, maybe 99%. But as an actor, he was very good. He was very convincing and very—you know, he had a charismatic quality as an actor, and I'm surprised he wanted to go into politics."</p>
<p>Trump has made cameos in numerous movies, including "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" and "Zoolander."</p>
