Veteran Hollywood actor Michael Keaton revealed who he is voting for just days ahead of the presidential election.
Best known for his roles as Beetlejuice, Mr. Mom and Batman, the 73-year-old revealed his pick for the president – without ever naming them.
In a video posted to Instagram, Keaton appeals to the ‘better side’ of human nature, asking viewers to ‘use common sense’ when heading to the polls on November 5.
The Pennsylvania native opened the near minute-long clip with praises of his ‘really great parents’ who taught him ‘the right way to live,’ before diving into his personal politics.

‘The Republican nominee for the Presidency is a person who lies, cheats and treats women horribly,’ he starts.
Keaton – whose mother suffered a severe stroke that left her disabled when her son was just 18 – went on to say that former President Donald Trump ‘mocks handicapped people.’
‘Only halfway down the list’ of negative qualities the Republican candidate has earned in Keaton’s mind, he adds that Trump ‘calls war veterans, who gave their lives, suckers and losers.’
In a pair of previous videos posted to Instagram, the actor made clear his stance on Trump’s comments aimed at veterans.
Keaton referenced veteran and former presidential candidate John McCain, detailing how McCain chose to ‘stay with his men’ in a POW camp.

‘Donald Trump calls him, and women and men who gave their lives for Democracy, losers. He won’t visit the graveyards of those women and men who gave their lives. I’m sorry, this is no patriot. This is anything but a patriot,’ Keaton said.
With over a million followers on Instagram, the actor sought to appeal to voters’ empathetic side: ‘A lot of you are like me,’ he said, ‘you were raised by great parents.’
‘When you go into that booth before you check that box or punch that ballot, I want you to ask yourselves, is that how I would want my son or daughters to live?’ he added.
