Renowned filmmaker David Lynch, known for his surreal works like ‘Blue Velvet,’ has a surprising conservative side that few know about. Born in Missoula, Montana, Lynch grew up as a creature of routine and simple comforts. His favorite Los Angeles restaurant was Bob’s Big Boy, and he once saw four US presidents drive past him during Kennedy’s inauguration. Despite his avant-garde style, Lynch voted for Ronald Reagan and visited the White House twice. This lesser-known aspect of his life reveals a more conservative artist who has often been associated with avant-garde movements.
