Hollywood’s A-list actor, George Clooney, has clapped back at Once Upon a Time in Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino after his comments about celebrity status. Clooney participated in a joint cover story for GQ magazine with co-star and longtime friend Brad Pitt ahead of the release of their new film, Wolfs.
Reflecting on Quentin Tarantino’s alleged remark that Clooney is still not a movie star, Clooney said, “Quentin said some shit 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], 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 fucking career.’”
George Clooney continued, adding, “So now I’m like, alright, dude, fuck off. I don’t mind giving him shit. He gave me shit. But no, look, we’re really lucky we got to work with these great directors. Director and screenplay is what keeps you alive.”
