George Clooney Says He Was Once Offered ‘$35 Million For One Day’s Work’ But Turned It Down

“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.”

WOW! I never realized how much the struggle is so real for some folks. I mean a nanny only 4 days a week. The horror. Tone deaf much george and anal?

[MtnClimber]

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

[Guenevere]

The nanny.....and several mansions......and no doubt, a. Chef.....
....oh the horror, poor guy

"...during the pandemic it was just the two of them, with him washing laundry and dishes all day."

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

[irishjuggler]

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

[Pocketdoor]

Gay porn?

"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.

WOW! I never realized how much the struggle is so real for some folks. I mean a nanny only 4 days a week. The horror.

And I thought Auschwitz was bad!

Glory be to God! No need for a nanny for a year..

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.

six loads of laundry a day.

it’s just my wife and I as well and we barely do six loads a week.

sex with hillary

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.

[Obadiah]

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.

[caww]

Did he convert to Islam as his wife is?

[Halls]

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!

[rktman]

Child abuse. 😨😊

[Bullish]

Mo one wants to give a no talent putz like you any ‘great parts’ George.
