‘If he gets in again, if America is stupid and corrupt enough to let him back in, I don’t want to be here. It’s really at that point.
‘It’s so toxic and so dangerous. And he is so out of control,’ the Josie and the Pussycats actor said.
Alan is currently living in Upstate New York, however a recent visit to Manhattan left him shaken.
‘Helicopters overhead. It was very weird sort of experience to be there. Both with COVID and the recent protests. The curfew was on there.

‘It didn’t feel New York could be itself. It was sad. It was pretty bleak to be there,’ he told The Project.
The Eyes Wide Shut actor has just been appointed the artistic director of Australia’s Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
Last year, he revealed that he turned down an appearance on The Good Wife spin-off The Good Fight alongside Julianna Margulies due to a pay dispute.

Alan, who played Eli Gold on The Good Wife during its seven season run, told US Weekly that he was supposed to appear with Julianna.
‘Both of us were going to go back They were not going to pay us. What’s the reason to take us back? Because we’re big parts of the story, and obviously, it was also going to be a big cache for the show,’ he said.
‘That costs. Why should we do it for a guest star thing when the last time we were working on this show we got much more?’ the star added.
