Even a mega star like George Clooney (59, "Ocean's Eleven") has to come to terms with aging. When asked how he felt about his approaching 60th birthday, the actor joked to Entertainment Tonight, "I'm not thrilled about it, but it's better than being dead." You just settle for less as you get older.
He helps needy actors
In the interview, Clooney talks about his work for the Motion Picture & Television Fund, among other things. This supports, among other things, needy actors, workers from the film industry and their relatives. Clooney also tries to convey charitable values to his children, the twins Alexander and Ella, who are not yet four years old. He knows how difficult the situation can be for many - especially during the corona pandemic. Before he became world famous, he slept on the floor in a friend's closet for two years. He was fortunate that he always had friends "who were willing to share what little they had to keep me afloat."
Together with his wife Amal (43), Clooney recently visited a retirement home financed by the Motion Picture & Television Fund. She thought it would be "a depressing place," but instead it's "a joyful place," the actor says. To collect donations, Clooney wants to create a "Sexiest Man Alive" competition, to which he wants to invite Brad Pitt (57), Chris Hemsworth (37) and Michael B. Jordan (34). The four actors have all been given this title by the US magazine "People". Clooney also plans to auction off his Batman & Robin suit if Warner Bros. allows him to do so.
