Vince Vaughn is defending his choice to shake President Donald Trump‘s hand during the College Football Playoff Game earlier this year.

The 50-year-old Freaky star spoke to the LA Times (via) about the backlash that followed and why he isn’t sorry about the handshake.

“In my career I’ve met a lot of politicians who I’ve always been cordial to; I’ve met Nancy Pelosi and was cordial to her as well,” Vince shared. “It was the only time I’ve ever met him. We said hello. He was very personable. I didn’t get into policies.”

Vince was seen shaking Trump‘s hand as they attended the game, and struck up a conversation as the First Lady, Melania Trump, sat between them.
