It was just last March that President Obama revealed he sneaks in episodes of Homeland while Michelle and the kids are out playing tennis, but it looks like he's not the only high profile politician who's a fan of the series. At the Golden Globes this past Sunday, former president Bill Clinton expressed his love of the series to star Claire Danes, even requesting a meet and greet.
"President Bill Clinton asked if I would come and meet him in some special room, so I just hung out with Bill Clinton," Danes told Access Hollywood after winning a statue for Best Actress in a TV Drama series at the show. "He was talking to Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson, and I thought, ‘Wow,’ he’s amazing. He’s, you know, an icon."
According to Danes, Clinton told her he's a fan of the series. "[It was in] a room somewhere in this hotel, surrounded by lots of very scary looking men...he very sweetly said that he appreciated how the character is kind of shedding light on mental illness, which is still a taboo subject. So, that was very flattering and I was very touched."
So, Bill Clinton hung out with Claire Danes, Rosario Dawson, and Jessica Alba at the Golden Globes this weekend. What did you do?
