 President Donald Trump might be a polarizing leader with a day job, but Woody Allen would love to direct "the very good actor" in a movie again.

When just a famous New York City real-estate developer, Trump appeared in Allen's 1998 film "Celebrity," starring Charlize Theron and Leonardo DiCaprio.

"He was a pleasure to work with, and a very good actor, and very polite," Allen said, speaking on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast, in a new episode out Sept. 1. "He did everything correctly and had a real flair for show business. If he would let me direct him now that he's president, I think I could do wonders."

Allen, 89, stressed he was not praising Trump politically.

"I’m a Democrat. I voted for Kamala Harris. I take issue with (Trump) on 95% of the things, maybe 99%," he said. "But as an actor, he was very good. He was convincing and had a charismatic quality."

I think the jokes will write themselves, wouldn't you agree?
