During the filming of "Hillbilly Elegy," Glenn Close commends the "generous" family of JD Vance, while "View" hosts make fun of the situation.

During a recent interview on "The View," actress Glenn Close revealed that Vice President-elect JD Vance's family was "generous" while they were filming the movie adaptation of his memoir "Hillbilly Elegy."

Joy Behar inquired about Close's Oscar-nominated portrayal of "Mamaw" in the movie, which depicted Vance's challenging upbringing in Ohio. Close revealed that he and his family visited the set and Vance assisted the young actor who played him as a child in the film with his role.

We all met family members and had individual conversations with them, one-on-one. For me, interacting with Mamaw was particularly memorable. I wondered how she walked into a room, how she sat, how she smoked, how she laughed, and how she changed the atmosphere. Overall, the family was very generous.

Close paused and said of Vance, "I don't know what happened," seemingly in reference to his conservative politics.

During the discussion, Behar and Hostin made some criticisms towards Vance. Despite this, Vance was able to secure a seat in the U.S. Senate in Ohio in 2022, and later became Trump's potential running mate for the 2024 presidential election.

"He had a distinct personality in those days compared to his current one," Behar stated. "Many individuals exhibit this change. The movie 'The Invasion of the Body Snatchers' comes to mind."

Now, he's discussing the topic of cat-loving, childless women.

The movie was criticized for not accurately portraying the working class. Rolling Stone's David Fear wrote that the politically conservative, anti-welfare tone in the author’s writing was removed, while The Independent deemed it an "irresponsible parade of death and despair."

In response to criticism in 2020, Close stated that the Netflix film was not created with politics as its primary focus.

In July, Hollywood's help may have contributed to Vance being suggested as President-elect Trump's vice president by Variety's chief film critic.

According to Variety's chief film critic Peter Debruge, it was the aspect of Vance's story that drew director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer, who are both liberal, to legitimize his origin story, similar to how 'The Apprentice' producer Mark Burnett gave Trump a reality TV spotlight in 2004.

Vance's 2016 memoir, which highlighted the socioeconomic struggles of Appalachian culture and the challenges faced by working-class Americans, including addiction and violence, became a bestseller and attracted significant attention.
