Although the left-wing actor is only 56, George Clooney sounds like he is ready to quit acting because he is too old. “I’m 56. I’m not the guy that gets the girl anymore,” he told the Sunday Times. “I shouldn’t be the guy that gets the girl. But, look, if somebody’s got Paul Newman in The Verdict, I’d jump. But there aren’t that many like that. Acting used to be how I paid the rent, but I sold a tequila company for a billion dollars. I don’t need money.”
Clooney’s problem is not middle age. Hell, I am confident enough in my sexuality to admit that Clooney looks great. His problem is that he is a prove failure as both actor and a director. The only role Clooney is successful at is playing the Movie Star for a handful of Hollywood and media elites who have deluded themselves into believing he is one.
What is unfortunate for George Clooney is that he is George Clooney, which means he is saddled with George Clooney’s career — a legacy of box office mediocrity and outright failures.
As a director, his track record is even worse. Even in the bubble where everyone pretends Clooney is a Big Star and not a mediocre screenwriter/director, the breathtaking critical and box office failure of Suburbicon last month, which will be lucky to gross $6 million, will give investors and studios pause.
Clooney looks like a movie star, acts like a movie star, talks like a movie star…but it is all a pose and has been for more than a decade.
All the public goodwill required to be a movie star has dissolved beneath Clooney’s feet due to his divisive politics, smug demeanor, and terrible choices.

He should have stuck with dead pan comedy. O’ brother Where Art Though, Oceans 10 and 12, and Intolerable Cruelty.
When I think of Rosemary Clooney she is on my TV singing about toilet paper.
Indeed. Never liked him.
Next stop: Vote for me.
Monuments Men could have been an excellent movie. Clooney and Damon brought it down several notches. Great material to work with, but Bill Murray could only do so much heavy lifting to carry the duds.
Clooneys main problem is one boring bomb after another just like Affleck.
#6 he also thinks he is Cary Grant
#16: George Clooney tastelessly joked, “Charlton Heston announced ‘again’ today that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s.” The needlessly cruel quip was delivered at a National Board of Review film awards ceremony honoring the loudmouthed actor. When called on about the stupid comment, Clooney dismissed any opportunity to apologize. “I don’t care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.”
Charlton Heston on the nephew of singer Rosemary Clooney: It’s funny how class can skip a generation, isn’t it?
“I don’t know the man - never met him, never even spoken to him. But I feel sorry for George Clooney - one day he may get Alzheimer’s disease. I served my country in World War II. I survived that - I guess I can survive some bad words from this fellow.”
“I have played three presidents, three saints and two geniuses. If that doesn’t create an ego problem, nothing does.”
“It is not widely known that one of the finest gun collections on the West Coast is Steven Spielberg’s. He shoots, but very privately.”
My comment: So how what excuse does Clooney have for his big ego?

He is about 10 years late saying goodbye.
Is he about to get exposed as another Hollywooder infected with Winestein's syndrome.
Kevin Spacey has a few ideas about how George can spice things up.
