George Clooney completely fell off as a movie star

In the 2000’s he was that guy, now he’s reduced to directing no1curr movies for streaming platforms. His filmography in the last decade is also underwhelming to say the least.

He won an Oscar. He’s making a fortune off of his tequila brand. He’s doing just fine. No need to worry about him.

I guess when you make half a billion dollars selling your tequila company, trying to be an aging movie star doesn't seem all that important to some people.

Also, these days, unless an actor wants to play a superhero from comic books, there is no real way to become or remain a "movie star." Movies are garbage meant to sell toys and video games to kids. There are no real adult audiences for movies. There are no more real movie starts.

I’ve already spoken about this.

Clooney was a Hollywood star through connections and PR. Through Steven Soderbergh and Brad Pitt. He was not a movie star, he was the product of PR and being among the “Hollywood elite”.

He was of the Oprah era where actors were treated like Jesus and her audience would scream over them and they’d be snooty and act like big shit.

That era is long gone.

He’s constantly bombing. Most of the things he does have been failures.

His net worth was estimated at $500M before he sold his interest in the vodka company, it seems a bit of a stretch to say his circumstances are reduced.

With that much money and a famous name, he can lead a very nice life without worrying about what OP or the test of us think of him, or the trajectory his Hollywood star has taken.

I never got the attraction and am not defending him except to say if I had that money, I wouldn't fucking bother with keeping my career arc on the ascent or even a maintenance course.

Carey Grant's career was in the 30s 40s 50s & early 60s. He had his career and then became a father and then kinda just lived his life. I guess he just wanted to be done with film making.

I'm glad people like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford continued. I love films with older stars in them. Grant could've continued on making films if he wanted to in sure.

He never really seemed to be that into it. Made a few movies for the money so that he could live the lifestyle he wanted. I think he's quietly involved in philanthropy and he's making a documentary about Gym Jordan's wrestling years as an assistant coach.

He has a beautiful villa in Italy and lives a peaceful, quiet and luxurious life. I've never been a fan of his, but good for him. He knew when to hang it up instead of becoming a desperate, aging movie star.

I don’t think Tomorrowland was that bad of a movie and his performance in the film was fine. Most of the failure of that film was in its marketing. Disney often does a poor job in that department; see the film John Carter., also a Disney dud. Both John Carter and Tomorrowland were supposed to be huge franchises but fell flat because of poor studio commitment.

It's a sad state when so many DL threads are about some more than well known celebrity failing to be a bigger celebrity.

Sure there are the celebrities whom the media and PR engines have poised to be the greatest next thing ever; or ones can't can't be bothered to even half conceal their enormous ambition to climb a run or 9 higher; or those who simply can't stand being ignored.

But to compare box office figures and salaries and number of IG followers of Google search matches as of Tuesday afternoon?, Who really cares if the Marvel franchise makes his net worth seem paltry, or some new name has more projects in the works? Is the measure of success to never sleep and plot a star trajectory that Nevers tips downward at the least inclination?

He's rich enough to pick his projects now, and occasionally a big payroll. Any actor it seems to me would envy some if that ability of choice - to say "I'll take that job" or "no, thank you, but this one isn't for me.,"

He's a very lucky man given his thin range of talent and the general good will he enjoys, I wouldn't fuck that up with taking a lot of jobs I didn't want and spending 12 hours away building muscles.

I think his best role was Michael Clayton and I liked the Descendants, even though the movie is now ruined by the sight of smelly, weird Shailene Woodley. He's aged out of leading man roles (I doubt he's interested in playing anyone's grandpa or the crusty old fart next door), but hasn't really found his footing as a director either.

I saw some footage recently of Clooney & Amal hanging all over each other & kissing on some red carpet and while I don't really care about his personal life, those sort of overly demonstrative displays of affection just scream #FAKE, particularly for an older that's been married for several years.

It saddens me that DLers aren't more incensed by what he did to that gay teen.

Would there have been more outrage if it had been a 16-year-old blonde straight girl? The condemnation would have been deafening. But a gay boy? Nope, no one is bothered. The power imbalance between a 52 year old wealthy famous guy and a 16 year old working class waiter is staggering.

The blind is superfluous, his neighbors corroborate the story which is what holds the most weight.

His PR screams "Qanon" which is just their desperate bullshit attempt at deflection. The incident happened in 2013 and Qanon didn't even come into existence until 2016/2017.

Don't worry, OP. DL icon and Hollywood legend, the iconic Julia Roberts is going to revive his movie career as he is starring in a supporting role in her next.

The superstar actress is known for her generosity and for making careers of other actors and actresses. For example, she made Sandra Bullock's and Gwyneth Paltrow's careers. She was also responsible for Denzel Washington's success. Amongst her friends she is known for her huge generosity and magnanimity. Money and fame don't matter to her because she had seen it all. She still commands 25 million paychecks. She's always the biggest star in the room wherever she is. Stars come and go, OP. But not Julia. What makes her such a powerful star ? Well, somethings are inexplicable however obvious they seem. Julia is also set to star in a movie called, "Leave the World Behind" alongside Mahershala Ali and Ethan Hawke and it's sure going to fetch her second Oscar which is long overdue. She was supposed to win an Oscar to her excellent turn in Ben is Back but because of bad politics she lost that one. But this time, there won't be such thing. In fact people in the know say that her role in "Leave the World Behind" is powerful that it'll be tough to imagine any other actress in that role.

If you are American and able to travel, go sit in a cafe in that area, the locals will tell you all about it. They like to burst Americans bubbles about him. They do contradict what the blind says about the beard being the clean up person. She didn't clean up anything. She was hired after everything was already taken care of. There was also no gift of jewelry as the blind claims, so that's probably just the red herring they throw into every blind to cover their asses.

The blind is very detailed, moreso than most blinds. Obviously someone in the know called in a tip. It is highly unlikely GC's people were able to get everyone in the entire town to sign an NDA. The kid probably told his friends he was going to famous guy's party and his friends probably came looking for him when he never returned to work or school and discovered him in his incapacitated state and decided to make a little cash from the info.

He has given way too much information and minutiae about the relationship from day one which is a tell tale sign of deception.

I personally find Randy's birthday greeting to GC a couple of years ago very telling. He shows a photo of them on the cliff and captions it "have each other's back" and "next time no cliffs". Randy was supposedly the friend who wanted a turn with the kid. Google "George Clooney celebrates turning 58..." and the old DM article with the photo and caption will come up.

Whatever the case, Mr. & Mrs. C. aren't a real couple. I only worked in L.A. in an adjacent industry for a couple of years in the early 2000s and it was no secret then he was into guys.

That makes total sense! I believe every word! Oh great truth teller, tell us more about those nasty liberal celebrities! I heard liberal Julia is a lesbian gay who throws 14 year old lesbians off cliffs in Italy. It's legal there.

I read a blind item about lesbian Julia Roberts, who is a secret lesbian and has lesbian sex with lesbians. She had a party in Italy, right next to Twink Cliff. All the lesbians were there. Jane Lynch, Wanda Sykes, and Jane Lynch. They all were having lesbian sex with a lesbian who was only 14 and she said no so Julia threw her off a cliff! It was all very detailed and documented.

I didn't mean outrage from the public. I meant outrage from DLers.

There are constant mentions of him in DL threads and "The Clooneys" and what a great guy he is and fabulous couple they are. It's nauseating. There is no "The Clooneys", it's fake. He should be shunned here, he harmed a gay teen.

Also I know only too well how those old world Italians are. I hope the kid's parents are being kind to him although he's not a kid anymore, would be about 23 or 24 now.

There is no "The Clooneys". He is a gay and she is also a lesbian gay. And they are all gay and throw twinks off cliffs. And now the twink is 74 and should be shunned because he is a gay.

This is liberal gay George's gay house on the edge of Twink Cliff. He always throws his secret gay parties for his secret gay friends, who are also gay child molesters. He has the gay sex parties and then throws off the gay twinks. It's well documented and all the villagers talk about it at night and sing songs about it in Italian. In Italy. Liberal and also gay Lady Gaga also got her horrible accent for House of Gucci from the villagers and sings their songs. She is a gay.

Isn't Rande Gerber considered good looking, probably better looking than Clooney? Why wouldn't the kid have a go with him? And why would Clooney get violent about it and chase the kid off a cliff?

The accident happened AFTER he gave a million to each of his friends.

by Anonymousreply 125March 7, 2022 11:29 PM

Assuming the cash gifts he made were for the reasons he said they were -- why go to the press with it? Because he was afraid someone else at that party would leak the story and he wanted to put his own spin on it. Because the whole thing sounds strange to me. But maybe that's just how they do things in WEHO, throwing around suitcases stuffed with cash.

I imagine Michael Musto is somewhere on this thread. If you are, is this cliff diving story true? I can easily believe that Clooney could be involved in something like this. He's such a smarmy bastard. It could just as easily be a Qanon smear campaign, though.

by Anonymousreply 127March 7, 2022 11:59 PM

The accident happened in 2013. Summer.

He gifted his friends the 1M in 2013.

The beard was hired in mid/late 2013 and the wedding circus advertising to world he was suddenly straight was in 2014.

When he tells the fictitious story of "how they met' he emphasizes they met in summer 2013 to cover his tracks, i.e. he couldn't have been with a male during that time, he had a "girlfriend".

This has nothing to do with Qanon. This happened in 2013 and Qanon didn't even come into existence until four years later in 2017.

I once met a very believable guy who told me he dated Clooney in college when C was fairly comfortable with his gay sexuality, and then fame and fortune happened. They met again professionally years later and, awkwardly, nothing about the past was mentioned. I told the entire story here some time ago and I still believe it.

by Anonymousreply 129March 8, 2022 12:15 AM

Another forum that has discussed this matter suggests he publicly gifted his friends the 1M as a dog whistle to anyone thinking of going to the tabloids and making a few bucks with the story. His public display was to inform anyone considering ratting him out that he is quite generous to those who are loyal to him.... That theory rather made sense to me when I read it.

How much does Cindy Crawford know, I wonder.

The Georgies can try to gaslight us all day, but I believe it. Remember when George said that he’d never get married again? He mentioned that in a couple of interviews. Then all the sudden he marries this skinny heifer who no one has ever heard about. And he paints this appallingly false narrative of how they met and suddenly she’s pregnant. George also used to say that he didn’t want children. He’s a smug, phony asshole. Ever since Princess Diana was killed, he’s been giving off douchebag vibes. There were blinds about him calling the paparazzi to come to take his photos at events…it’s all so much bullshit. It just made him sound good. And remember how badly he wanted to be on SOUTH PARK when it was white hot and Trey and Matt only let him do the voice of the gay dog? And later, they skewered him after his cringeworthy Oscar speech. I loved it. He’s a big phony and he and Gerber are slimy AF. So, no matter how many times the Georgies post their BS about how all the stories about him are false and being spread by right wing trolls, I will never see him as anything other than what he is…a sociopathic ephebophile who throws his money around to hide his lowlife crimes. Fuck you, George Clooney and Rande Gerber. Go back to spit roasting that smelly twink Harry Styles…

by Anonymousreply 155March 8, 2022 1:13 PM

R132 is a right wing troll. The Diana reference is from when she was killed while being chased by paparazzi. George made a statement about it, right after it happened, defending her and criticizing the paparazzi. And this fucktard troll doesn't like it. He doesn't like any liberal celebrity having opinions. No other message other than right wing policies can be tolerated for this fucktard troll. He comes here to shit on Hollywood actors because they are perceived as a threat because they have celebrity and notoriety. And he does it on a gay site, to rub it in our faces. Clooney has been hated for decades by these fucks.

by Anonymousreply 156March 8, 2022 3:19 PM

I'm still waiting for some confirmation of the cliff incident other than "go there and ask the locals."

Clooney has always been really into his male friend group. At one point, he gave them all custom motorcycles. Maybe he's paying them to keep quiet about any dirt, maybe he just likes being the alpha of the group, maybe he's just really generous. Could be all three.
