The 42nd president enjoyed the film so much that he sent screenwriter Gary Ross an autographed copy of the script, which according to a 2000 piece in Los Angeles Magazine, hung in a frame on the wall of Ross’ Studio City residence.
But that’s not all, as the article revealed that next to the framed script is a picture of Clinton holding a Dave mug with a note congratulating Ross on his Oscar nomination in 1994.
Everyone from Roger Ebert to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences were fond of Dave, but one of the movie’s biggest fans was none other than then-President of the United States Bill Clinton, who thoroughly enjoyed the movie lampooning the American political climate just months into his first term as the nation’s leader.
