Then Clooney then announced his retirement from acting. What the heck, why doesn't he just ride off into the sunset gracefully? Did he have a change of heart?
Those close to him should ask him to pee in a cup. Alcoholism and drug addiction are rife among the Clooney clan. Perhaps a court appointed guardian is in order here. The man seems incapable of managing his life, frittering money away like a child in a toy store.
Indeed, Hollywood loves their socialists, statists, and sexual predictors, but they do NOT like poverty nor do they like the smell of us commoners.
Here is a link to all the box office data on George Clooney - actor, producer, director, and writer. Notably, for this "superstar:"
-In the 11 movies in which he's acted since the financial crisis, only one drew more than $100 million (Gravity - where the star was the special effects editor).
-Of his six directorial efforts, only one grossed more than $50 million (The Monuments of Men).
-Suburbicon grossed FIVE MILLION DOLLARS!!
George Clooney's move to Netflix from the studios seems to be a harbinger that he's following in the footsteps of those other great former kings and queens of the media - Olbermann, Glenn Beck, Katie Couric, and now Mee-again - toward this being his next venue.
"Suburibicon" might have been a big hit in Japan.
"Suburbicon" bombed in the US.
