April 22: George Clooney isn’t losing sleep over what Donald Trump thinks of him.
In a new interview airing Monday on CBS Mornings, the Oscar-winning actor made it crystal clear that the former president’s opinions have no weight in his world.
Sitting down with Gayle King to promote his Broadway debut in Good Night, and Good Luck, Clooney was asked about Trump’s recent online attacks.
“I don’t care,” the veteran Hollywood star said without hesitation. “I’ve known Donald Trump for a long time. My job is not to please the President of the United States.”
“My job is to try and tell the truth when I can and when I have the opportunity. I am well aware of the idea that people will not like that. … People will criticize that. Elon Musk has weighed in [about me]. That is their right. It’s my right to say the other side.”
Trump called Clooney a ‘fake movie actor’ in a fiery rant
Following Clooney’s last month interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes”, Trump lashed out at the Wolfs star on his social media platform, Truth Social.
