Three years ago, George Clooney had a motorcycle accident that almost killed him."I've been waiting for my switch to be killed," he said in an interview about fame, age and mortality with the "Sunday Times".When he was on the street in Sardinia, he was surrounded by people and filmed with his cell phone."When you lie on the floor and think, this is the last minute of your life, you realize that you are just a conversation on your Facebook page for some people.I am a positive person, but that clearly showed me that you are really only here for your entertainment."
The advantage of late fame
As the fame in the form of the DR.Doug Ross entered his life in Emergency Room, Clooney had been rip off for years in bad films and failures.That was his luck, as he thinks today.“If you are a young actor, you run towards success.And the moment you arrive there you can burn.I am lucky that I only became famous at 33 and not at 23.I might have taken crack if I had been 23 and then had come to money and success."

One is never prepared for this kind of awareness.At the level of his fame it could happen that journalists in the Clooney press conference made a marriage proposal instead of asking him questions about his current film.It was a crazy time.Clooney stayed on the ground."You have to have failed very often.If that happened, you don't trust the success.Every day I think: 'When everything goes hell, I still have a few houses, I could sell one.'This is my mentality.Out of failures you learn everything - you don't learn anything out of success."
George Clooney about Harvey-Weinstein
Due to the late success, Clooney was also lucky, later when he was famous to have only played in a few really bad films. "Batman & Robin war ein monumentales Desaster und ich war schlecht darin, aber das war mir eine Lehre."From then on, he was only based on the scripts.This was followed by "Three Kings", "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" And "Out of Sight"-the crush of women and series doctor had established itself as a serious actor.

In the interview, Clooney also comes to Harvey Weinstein, which Clooney knew and with whom he worked with."A lot has changed," says the actor about the Post-Weinstein era."You can no longer get through to be an asshole - you would be whistled."Now there would be an overreaction sometimes, but that will lie down.It is important: "I can no longer imagine that a producer is now holding a casting with a young girl in his hotel room alone.So it moves in the right direction."
The time remains
Pandemic was a special experience for the superstar.He only spent a year with his wife Amal and the four -year -old twins."I felt like my mother in 1964, the three loads washed a day.But we were all together - and I didn't experience that with my parents.“He turned 60 in May."To be 60 years old is a shock," he told the sheet."But either that or death."
He was healthy, play basketball.In 20 years he will be 80.He said to his wife Amal that the next 20 years are sacred."Professionally, Clooney has been completely independent since the sale of a tequila brand that he had built up with his awareness.He got one billion dollars for his shares.In the future he wants to produce fewer films, even to spend more time with the children.

Split and reconciliation
The next film comes to cinemas "The Tender Bar" in December, in January he can be seen at Amazon.The strip is based on the memories of the US journalist JR Moehringer about his youth in the bar of his uncle.Ben Affleck plays the uncle, it is a warm-hearted film about the importance of the family against the background of the Nixon years.A split time then also.But today social media would still fuel the opposites of society, Clooney regrets.“In recent years there have been two different tribes in the United States that hate each other.And I was already angry.But we still pay our bills and go to work - we just have to find out how we can get along."
His next film is a romantic comedy that plays on a tropical island.Co-star is Julia Roberts.That should reconcile both political camps in the cinema.
