George Clooney Gets Heated

Aug 14, 2024 | 6:05 AM

George Clooney and Brad Pitt were featured in a joint cover story for GQ magazine ahead of their new film Wolfs. Clooney candidly addressed several subjects, including Quentin Tarantino’s recent comments questioning Clooney’s status as a movie star. “He goes, he’s not a movie star. And then he literally said something like, ‘Name me a movie since the millennium.’ And I was like, ‘Since the millennium? That’s kind of my whole fu-king career.’ So now I’m like, all right, dude, fu-k off. I don’t mind giving him sh-t.”

Clooney also discussed getting choosier with roles as he gets older. “Five months out of your life is a lot. And so it’s not just like, ‘Oh, I’m going to go do a really good film, like “Three Kings,” and I’m going to have a miserable fu-k like David O. Russell making my life hell. Making every person on the crew’s life hell.’ It’s not worth it. Not at this point in my life. Just to have a good product.”
