George Clooney Says He Was Once Offered ‘$35 Million For One Day’s Work’ But Turned It Down
dailycaller.com ^ | 12/3/2021 | Katie Jerkovich

“It was [associated with] a country that, although it’s an ally, is questionable at times,” the “Ocean’s Eleven” star continued. “And so I thought: ‘Well, if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it.'”

The “ER” star, who shares twins with his wife Amal, admitted to doing less acting work these days so they can live their lives.

“In general, there just aren’t that many great parts – and, look, I don’t have to act,” George shared. “My wife and I had this conversation when I turned 60 this summer. I said: ‘I can still bounce around pretty good, and we both love what we do. But we gotta make sure we don’t book ourselves silly.’ So, part of it is just us making sure we live our lives.”

At one point, he opened up about how they aren’t like others in Hollywood with lots of nannies and said during the pandemic it was just the two of them, with him washing laundry and dishes all day.

“We don’t, because it’s so important to Amal [to be involved],” Clooney shared. “We have a nanny four days a week and the rest of the time it’s just us. And during lockdown it was just us – for a full year! I felt like my mother in 1964, doing dishes and six loads of laundry a day.”

If it was for a communist country he might have done the work for free.

I’m guessing that he didn’t want to work for Israel.

Really? I’d have guessed he meant Saudi Arabia, as they throw cash around like that.

"We are a little bit of out of touch in Hollywood every once in a while, I think it's probably a good thing."
--George Clooney, the 78th annual Academy Awards

He isn't like us everyday nobodies, and proud of it.

In Clooney’s mind, Israel and SA are probably equivalent.

Japan is also know for throwing big $$ at American celebs, but not sure why they might be “questionable”. Unless it is because they support Taiwan.

It’s good that he didn’t take the $35 million job. That’s $35M he will not be donating to leftist causes. He’d have looked silly as Ayatollah Khomenei anyway.

This guy never seems to stop telling everyone how rich he is. Good for him that America made him wealthy, but he is an insufferable boor.

I ca t imagine how hard life must be with a nanny 4 days a week. How would I know. My grown children really missed out on having a nanny. They were stuck with just me and hubby. Just awful!
