George Clooney Praises Merkel’s Openness to Migrants as He Seeks Greater Seclusion in Italy

According to one source, Clooney loves his estate and the area, but he has received a huge offer for the villa, which he is considering, and "he would buy another, less accessible property in another area of Italy."

George Clooney, and his wife Amal, met in private with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Friday and praised her leadership during the migrant crisis, as rumors circulate that the American actor may sell his luxurious Lake Como property because it isn't isolated enough.

Clooney, who was accompanied to the Merkel meeting by former UK foreign secretary David Miliband, told reporters that he "absolutely" agrees with Merkel's handling of the crisis and her acceptance of many migrants into the country.

After the 40-minute meeting, Clooney criticized the U.S. policy toward migrants on German television. "You know in the United States, we aren't doing enough," he said. "We are a little less involved than we should be."

Later Friday, the Clooneys, who are in Germany to promote the actor's new film Hail, Caesar, also visited a Berlin refugee shelter. He had said he wished to meet a group of asylum seekers, "to talk about and ask what messages and what things we can do... to help."

The Clooneys' public statements about immigration stand in odd juxtaposition to reports from northern Italy over the past year suggesting that the couple has found their $10 million Lake Como property to be too public.

The 18th-century estate, which is reportedly now worth ten times what Clooney paid for it, or $100 million, is in a very exclusive area. But local mayor Roberto Pozzi still had to make extra efforts to guarantee the actor's privacy last April and imposed a $600 fine for anyone found trespassing on or around the actor's property.

Open up your property to these ‘migrants’ George. I’m sure there is room for quite a few.

Trump should loudly repeat this stunning example of elitist hypocrisy.

Clooney is a “Quislaming” [a Quisling for Islam].

He had said he wished to meet a group of asylum seekers, “to talk about and ask what messages and what things we can do... to help.”

THEIR RESPONSE: “Bring your wife with you, and have her wear a short skirt.”

Another mush brained wealthy actor who believes his money and his fame are the result of his intelligence and moral integrity. His ilk need desperately to come face to face with the consequences of their attitudes.

The Hollywood libs tell their hypocritical lies to each other at cocktail parties etc which reinforces the lies in their minds. So they are probably blind to their hypocrisy.

Why in the world would a leader of a country have a sit down political discussion with an actor???

That is beyond ludicrous...

The german people ought to be up in arms over her wasting time doing something as stupid as that....

Bill Whittle posted an excellent youtube video on this very subject entitled "Where Do You Live,Mark Zuckerberg?".

Everything he said about Zuckerberg clearly applies to these two showbiz lightweights as well.

Why is the mouthing of some actor worthy of presentation? Why should we even bother to listen to the advice of an actor outside of his field of acting?
