George Clooney Criticizes Quentin Tarantino for Hurting His Film Career
Don’t expect George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino to collaborate again any time soon … as the actor made it clear he’s seriously pissed at the director.
George gave an update on his relationship with his former “From Dusk Till Dawn” costar in GQ‘s September issue … and slammed the famed filmmaker for trashing his big-screen career in the media.
As Clooney put it … he was “a little irritated” with QT after the director said GC wasn’t a movie star since he hadn’t had a hit “since the millennium.”
This dig left Clooney understandably ticked off, and he fired back … “And I was like, ‘Since the millennium? That’s kind of my whole f***ing career.’ So now I’m like, all right, dude, f*** off.”
Clooney’s callout was made even more awkward by the fact Brad Pitt — another collaborator of Tarantino’s — joined him for the GQ sit-down.
Pitt, who stars alongside Clooney in “Wolfs,” offered no additional commentary … but did laugh in response, which could be interpreted a number of ways.
Ya can’t blame Clooney for defending his resume, though, the thing kinda speaks for itself — 2 Oscars, 5 Golden Globes, an AFI Life Achievement Award and a Kennedy Center Honor.
Tarantino also has 2 Oscars and 4 Golden Globes … so, perhaps he was just feeling a bit competitive when he sent the diss Clooney’s way.
Regardless, it’s high time for a new beef in Hollywood! We need a new “Not Like Us,” Clooney!!!
