I got a chance to watch the film Hillbilly Elegy made from a book written by JD Vance about his life.
It was produced and directed by Ron Howard 4 years ago.
After seeing the movie where I didn't know much about him before. After seeing it I can see why Trump chose him.
Here's one interesting part in the movie. Ron Howard made the movie 4 years ago long before Vance was considered for the VP position.
The movie covers his childhood about as much as his adult life family and professional struggles coming from a Kentucky family being the first family member to go to college and Harvard at that.
One scene was him as a kid telling people to be quiet because he wanted to listen to Al Gore speak on TV.
I wonder how Howard feels that 4 years ago he had Vance watching Gore on TV and Vance ended up being the VP himself?
Incidently, Tommy Lee Jones actually played the roommate in the movie as well.
He was a star football player at Harvard.
