Veteran Hollywood actor Michael Keaton revealed who he is voting for just days before the presidential election.
The 73-year-old is best known for his roles as Beetlejuice, Mr. Mom and Batman and announced his choice for president – without ever mentioning them by name.
In a video on Instagram, Keaton appeals to the “better side” of human nature, asking viewers to “use common sense” as they head to the polls on November 5.
The Pennsylvania native opened the nearly one-minute clip with praise for his “really great parents” who taught him “the right way to live” before delving into his personal politics.

“The Republican candidate for president is someone who lies, cheats and treats women terribly,” he begins.
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 disabled people.”
“Only halfway down the list” of negative qualities the Republican candidate has earned in Keaton’s eyes, 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 his stance clear on Trump’s comments targeting veterans.
Referring to veteran and former presidential candidate John McCain, Keaton explained how McCain chose to “stay with his men” in a POW camp.

Keaton has been vocal on social media about his stance on this cycle’s election, posting voting records and his personal politics on social media.
Incumbent Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris will face her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, on November 5.
“Donald Trump calls him, and women and men who gave their lives for democracy, losers. He will not visit the burial grounds of the women and men who gave their lives. I’m sorry, this is not a patriot. This is anything but a patriot,” Keaton said.
With well over a million followers on Instagram, the actor tried to appeal to voters’ empathetic side: “Many of you look like me,” he said, “you were raised by great parents.”
“If you go into that booth before checking that box or creating that ballot, I want you to ask yourself: Is that how I would want my son or daughters to live?” he added.
