Like many celebrities, the former American Idol star Jennifer Hudson isn’t afraid to express her political views, and is an avid supporter of Presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
Hudson broke the news to ET that she’ll be singing the national anthem on the night Obama accepts the nomination for the president at the Democratic National Convention.
“This is definitely one of the biggest honors for me,” she tells ET. “It’s something that I’ve really wanted to do.”
Hudson thinks Obama is a “great role model,” adding that his popularity is comparable to celebrity status.
“He attracts the youth,” the Oscar winner said. “We need celebrities like that to look up to.”
