After saying the director recently “said some s***” about him, George Clooney has admitted he is a “little irritated” with Quentin Tarantino for branding him “not a movie star”.
George Clooney is a “little irritated” with Quentin Tarantino for branding him “not a movie star”.
The actor-turned-director, 63, is still one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars and has helmed a string of critically acclaimed movies, and has now hit out at Quentin, 61, who he recently said “some s***” about his Hollywood status.
George – who starred alongside Quentin in Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 vampire comedy-horror ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ – told the September issue of GQ magazine: “Quentin said some s*** about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him.
“He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about (Brad Pitt), and somebody else, and then this guy goes, ‘Well, what about George?’ 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 f****** career.’”
George has two Oscars to his name and also told GQ how he is now setting his sights on Broadway.
The ‘Confessions of a Dangerous Mind’ director, who has two children with his
human rights lawyer wife Amal, 46, said: “I wrote a Broadway play, ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’.
“I’m going to be on Broadway. Look, that’s going to be six months of my life in New York... I’m going to give myself time with my kids.
“I really enjoy driving them to school, and my wife and I are having a really wonderful time.
“So I don’t want to lose all of that. But this is an opportunity to do something that I have never done before. I’ve never been on Broadway.”
