Danny Glover has offered hugs and moral support to workers at a men's suit plant that faces closure next month with the loss of 375 jobs.
Workers at the Hugo Boss plant in Brooklyn, Ohio, cheered as the star of the Lethal Weaponaction movies toured the operation.
Danny, who led a boycott of Hugo Boss formal wear at the Academy Awards earlier this month, later held a news conference and appealed to Germany's Hugo Boss AG to reverse its shutdown decision.
The company has said its closure decision stands.
The firm said the union representing workers rejected concessions at the plant, which it says isn't globally competitive.
