Michael Douglas made a surprise trip to the Midwest to support his favorite presidential candidate. A day after attending his father Kirk’s funeral in Los Angeles, the Oscar winner, 75, spoke at a campaign event for former New York City mayor Mike Bloomberg in Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday morning.

Douglas’ visit marks his first public appearance since the death of his father, legendary Hollywood star Kirk Douglas earlier this week.

Douglas joins several other celebrities endorsing Bloomberg in the 2020 election. musician John Mellencamp, fashion icon Tim Gunn and TV personality judge Judy Sheindlin (known as “Judge Judy”) have all voiced their support.

Last month, Douglas told PEOPLE he “hasn’t been this excited” about a presidential candidate since John F. Kennedy.

1. John Mellencamp...making a surprising choice considering there's a

fellow hoosier among the candidates.

2. Interesting remark about JFK ...

Michael Douglas would have been too young to vote for JFK so he must have been interested in politics at a young age.

4. I was 17 in 1960 and very excited about JFK.

Ike was a nice man and his wife was like my grandparents, but the Kennedys were very hip and exciting to many of us too young to vote.
