Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
George Clooney has been in the news this week with several developments capturing Hollywood's attention. According to multiple entertainment outlets including NBC Montana and CBS Austin, the actor has been revisiting an old piece of Hollywood history, with Brad Pitt continuing to mock him over losing out on the breakout role in "Thelma & Louise" decades ago. Clooney made it to the final test for the part before Pitt ultimately landed what became his career-launching role. Clooney recently opened up about the disappointment in interviews, revealing he didn't even watch the film for years because he was so frustrated about missing out on such a pivotal opportunity.
The Irish Times published a substantial profile of the sixty-four-year-old actor this week, discussing his multifaceted career spanning acting, directing, and business ventures. The piece highlighted his significant success beyond film, including his co-founding of Casamigos Tequila with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, a venture he sold his share in for more than two hundred million dollars. The interview also explored his personal life, detailing his ownership of Villa Oleandra on Lake Como, which he purchased after his motorcycle broke down near the property back in two thousand two.
On the lighter side, Clooney's well-documented prankster reputation made headlines as he's been impersonating Brad Pitt to prank other celebrities. According to reports from multiple news outlets, he sent a letter to Tom Cruise claiming Brad wanted to play Lestat in a potential "Interview with the Vampire" sequel, and he also pranked Meryl Streep by sending dialect coaching CDs supposedly from Brad. These pranks highlight the playful dynamic between the two actors, who have collaborated on numerous films together including the Ocean's franchise and the recent film "Wolfs."
Clooney continues to balance his various interests as he enters his later sixties. His focus remains divided between occasional film projects, his directorial ambitions which he's put on hiatus due to his twins, and his substantial philanthropic and activist work, which he pursues alongside his human rights lawyer wife Amal. The week's coverage suggests an actor who remains firmly embedded in Hollywood culture while maintaining diverse business and humanitarian interests.
