While accepting his Donostia Award for lifetime achievement at the San Sebastian Film Festival in Spain, the 45-year-old actor said that the titular characters in his latest film would apparently join forces to defeat Trump, reported Ace Showbiz.

“I bet Donald Trump would like the film. But he doesn’t know that what the film is actually about is people gathering together to defeat him,” Hawke said when asked about the message of Antoine Fuqua’s western classic remake and if he thought the US Republican presidential candidate would like it.

“I like to say that Peter Sarsgaard plays Donald Trump in this film.”

Sarsgaard portrays a corrupt industrialist named Bartholomew Bogue in the remake of 1960’s western movie which starred Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner.
