George Clooney is upset with Quentin Tarantino for saying he’s “not a movie star.”
George Clooney recently vented his intense annoyance at director Quentin Tarantino following some critical remarks regarding his career.
The 63-year-old legend was irritated when Tarantino said that Clooney is “not a movie star.” Normally, the classic is taciturn when voicing complaints in public.
The filmmaker Tarantino, who previously worked with Clooney on the movie From Dusk ’til Dawn, minimized Clooney’s standing as a Hollywood leading man in a recent interview.
In a joint interview with Brad Pitt for the September issue of GQ magazine, Clooney discussed the unexpected conflict, saying, “I’m a little irritated by him because Quentin said some sh*t about me recently.”
Clooney was shocked, especially by Tarantino’s admission that he hadn’t created a meaningful picture since 2000. “And he said, quite literally, ‘Name me a movie since the millennium.'” “Since the millennium?” I asked. That’s pretty much my entire f**king career.
I’m like, “All right, dude, f*k off,” at this point. I have no problem giving him sht.
It’s clear that Tarantino’s comments struck Clooney’s nerve
Over the past 20 years, Clooney’s career has been filled with accomplishments, including two Academy Awards: one for Best Supporting Actor in Syriana (2005) and another for his work as an Argo producer and performer in other highly regarded movies.
In an interview with GQ, Clooney said, “I wrote a Broadway play, Good Night, and Good Luck,” alluding to the theatrical version of the 2005 movie he directed, which also examined the life of reporter Edward R. Murrow.
“I’ll be appearing on Broadway.” That’s going to be my six months in New York, you see. I’m going to treat myself to some family time. My wife and I are having a great time, and I truly like taking children to school. I thus don’t want to loose everything. Yet, I have the chance to try something new with this opportunity. The seasoned Batman actor said, “I’ve never been on Broadway.
