World renowned humanitarian and occasional bad actor George Clooney thinks that America just isn't doing enough for Syrian Muslim migrants.
Clooney and his wife Amal Clooney had met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel the same day to discuss the status of Syrian refugees, and to plead her to accept more.
“We just wanted to ask her what we can do, what our involvement should be, what Hollywood’s involvement should be, and what the United States should be doing as well,†he said.
“The United States needs to do more, as we know,†Clooney said. “10,000 refugees a year is not enough, that’s clear.â€
10,000 for the US isn't enough. 1.2 million for Germany isn't enough. Is there any number that might be enough?
But if George Clooney really wants to know what he can do, let's start with his 5 acre estate in the UK. Working people in Germany have been kicked out of their homes to make room for Muslim refugees. Why not take over one of the estates of the rich and famous humanitarians instead?
The stunning property currently houses a gym and steam room, a library, study, family room, formal dining room and cellar and a boat house.
The annexe development will add a state-of-the-art 12-seater cinema for private home screenings to part of the greenhouse.
I bet a whole bunch of Syrian refugees could fit into that private movie theater. Not to mention the boat house.
A new pool house, pergola and hot tub will be built onto the back of the existing riverside boat house, allowing George and his new wife Amal to luxuriate by the estuaries of the River Thames.
Get some Syrian refugees into that hot tub stat!
The oak pergola will sit before an 18m swimming pool, surrounded in reclaimed York stone, surrounded by sun loungers and a bubbling jacuzzi.
That's a 60 foot swimming pool. Empty it. Fill it with Syrian refugees. Or maybe let them swim in it.
According to this real estate listing, here's how much room for Syrian refugees there is in the Clooney estate.
9 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 6 reception rooms, Outbuildings.
The ground floor comprises a large elegant entrance hall with marble floor leading to a central staircase hall, drawing room with open fireplace and parquet floor, library, family room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast room, gymnasium and caldarium.
Upstairs is the master bedroom suite with marble bathroom and dressing room, 5 bedroom suites, 3 further bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, study, sitting room and kitchenette.
Ancillary accommodation comprises a guest cottage and staff cottage.
I count room for at least two dozen Syrian refugees. If Mr. Clooney really wants to do more. But he doesn't. And you better not ask him about it.
Clooney lost a bit of his famous cool at a Berlin Film Festival press conference Thursday when a reporter asked what else he's been doing, beyond making movies, to ease the ongoing refugee crisis.
"I spend a lot of time working on these things, and it's an odd thing to have someone stand up and say, 'What do you do?' That's fine, knock yourself out," a peeved Clooney snapped, according to media reports. "I have gone to places that are very dangerous and I work a lot on these things."
Very dangerous. He's been to four star hotels. He's been to bars where they let anyone in. He's really put himself on the line. Before going back to his five acre estate, which unlike the working class areas of the UK, have zero Muslim migrants living on them.
Unless they're hired on to clean the pool.
Who really gives a great big flying F what George Clooney thinks?
Who is george Clooney?
He is someone who makes money playing like he is someone else...He has not contributed to the welfare of the country...He has not contributed to the welfare of the people...
His opinion is worth exactly the same as yours or mine...
Did he even graduate from High School???
What can Hollywood do?
Shut up.
What can you do?
See above and take your medicine.
“10,000 for the US isn’t enough. 1.2 million for Germany isn’t enough. Is there any number that might be enough?”
You know when it is enough? When Cloney leaves the US permanently for his Italian villa because there are too many refugees in his neighborhood.
Sorry, that just sounded like dead baby or a starving ethiopian joke.
I am sick and tired of Sean Penn, George Clooney, Barbara Streisand, Martin Sheen, etc using their “fame” to push politics which they obviously know nothing about...
All of you...Stick to playing like you’re someone else...Stay out of reality...
“”Why not take over one of the estates of the rich and famous humanitarians instead?””
Not ONE of them but every stinkin’ one that belongs to anyone, anywhere who doesn’t think the U. S. is doing enough! This guy needs to be put out to pasture!
Heck if I know. Actors are not something I pay much attention to. Seen him in a couple of movies and that’s about it. He’s an okay actor, but not a great one in my opinion.
Great question. And I'll take a shot at answering it. Five acres is roughly 24,000 square yards. Let's say each person requires 50 square yards of living space (the size of a typical efficiency apartment). That means George can easily take in 480 Syrians.
Disclaimer: That does not take into account the police substation Clooney will have to build on his property shortly after the Syrians arrive. And it does not take into account the wall Clooney will eventually have to build right around his personal home.
They’ll do more than swim in his pool...
The U.S. needs to do nothing. Let Europe figure out how to fix their mess, and let’s stay out of it completely.
But be sure to post signs telling the "refugees" not to defecate in the pool, as they have had to do in Germany.
Her father is Druze. Her mother is a Sunni Muslim. Some reports have described Clooney as a Muslim. She became engaged to actor George Clooney on 28 April 2014.
I’m sure he could fit a couple hundred in his house in Studio City. He lives on Iredell st, last house, end of the street, south side. A good friend of mine lives next door
He has a job that a even a child can do, he don’t need no stinking high school diploma. Hell, his net worth is estimated at 180 million, yet the Olsen twins net worth is over 300 million. The Olsen twins started their acting career when they were only 9 months old. Granted all they had to do was to look cute, but George would probably never been an actor if he wasn’t considered a good looking man by women. I could care less what this idiot has to say
When Clooney is forced to live in a working-class area invaded by “refugees,” and his wife is surrounded, groped, maybe even raped, and the “refugees” are crapping in George’s garden, waltzing into his house and helping themselves to his possessions, and all the other things poor and middle-class people are putting up with who have to live with these savages...maybe then I’l listen to him.
