Filmmaker, actor and activist George Clooney faced some serious questions backstage at the Golden Globe Awards after receiving his lifetime achievement Cecil B. DeMille Award. Wearing a Je Suis Charlie button in tribute of the Charlie Hebdo attacks, he closed his acceptance speech by saying, Today was an extraordinary day. There were millions of people that marched, not just in Paris but around the world. And they were Christians and Jews and Muslims. They were leaders of countries all over the world, and they didnt march in protest. They marched in support of the idea that we will not walk in fear. We wont do it. So je suis Charlie. Thank you.
Backstage, he was asked if there were plans to tackle this new reality on screen. Its a tricky thing, he noted. Films usually fall a couple years behind a news story, it takes a couple years to write a screenplay. Right now were all just trying to process what the world is going to look like next.
He did caution for people to not overreact. Theres a lot of anti-Muslim fervor in parts of Europe and we have to make sure that doesnt get grouped into this horrible act of violence.

Yeah, in his next movie.
This guy is literally married to a supporter of a mass murderer. His lawyer wife is trying get Kadaffi’s chief mass murderer out of a Libyan jail.
Well, for one he’s politically ambitious.
How a political career and Hollywood can end up compatible is beyond me.
Like most wimps, he’s too weak to end up actually dropping Hollywood, getting an education, and then become confident enough to prove he has something to offer an electorate.
Well, he’s smart now......he does have an accomplished Arab wife, isn’t that the same as sleeping at a Holiday Inn?
