‘I’m A Little Irritated’: George Clooney Gets Real Over Beef With Quentin Tarantino After The Director Shaded His Career

As a seasoned gamer with a decade-long journey through the world of cinema, I can confidently say that George Clooney is undeniably a movie star. His impressive portfolio spanning from the millennium to the present, including blockbusters like the Ocean’s trilogy and Batman & Robin (a film that, let’s face it, we all love for its… unique charm), solidifies his status as one of Hollywood’s elite.


For quite some time, George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino have been significant figures in the world of cinema. In their early careers, they collaborated in the film “From Dusk till Dawn” (a movie brimming with fascinating behind-the-scenes tales), with Tarantino penning the script and playing the role of Clooney’s character’s brother. Since then, they’ve kept in contact and maintain a friendship, albeit one that has had its ups and downs… mainly due to recent tensions. As it stands, there seems to be a rift between them now, with Tarantino making some remarks about Clooney’s career, which Clooney has publicly addressed.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt are currently touring for promotions of their upcoming film “Wolfs,” set to stream on Apple TV+ starting next month. The movie has already been greenlit for a sequel. During an interview with GQ, Clooney touched upon Quentin Tarantino’s previous comment that he doesn’t view Clooney as a movie star, remarking on the subject casually.

Quentin made some disrespectful comments about me not long ago, which has left me a bit annoyed with him. In an interview, he mentioned you and another person, and when someone asked about George, he replied that George isn’t a movie star. He even went as far as saying something like, “Name me a movie since the millennium.” To which I thought, “Since the millennium? That’s essentially my entire career!” Now, I find myself thinking, “Alright, buddy, take a hike. I can give as good as I get, and he certainly dished it out.”

It’s uncertain where Quentin Tarantino made these comments about George Clooney, as there hasn’t been a recent interview in which he discussed Clooney in this manner or at all. However, if we assume that Tarantino thinks Clooney isn’t a movie star, that assertion is inaccurate. As the actor himself has stated, he’s been featured in numerous significant films since the 2000s began, such as the original Ocean’s trilogy (which also starred Brad Pitt), Good Night, and Good Luck, Michael Clayton, Burn After Reading, and Up in the Air, to mention a few. Notably, he also earned recognition for surviving the backlash of 1997’s Batman & Robin. As a side note, he even gained extra credit for handling the challenges presented by that film.

George Clooney indeed took a break from acting for four years, admitting that he felt burnt out by the craft eventually. However, in more contemporary times, he’s graced our screens with roles in films like “The Midnight Sky” and “Ticket to Paradise,” made appearances as Bruce Wayne in “The Flash,” lent his voice to “Spaceman” in “IF,” and has an upcoming untitled project with Noah Baumbach. While it may be a stretch to say he’s at the same level as before more than a decade ago, there’s no denying that Clooney has solidified his status as a movie star multiple times over.

It seems that George Clooney may not be eager to work with Quentin Tarantino again on his upcoming film, though it’s unclear what this project will entail since “The Movie Critic” has been canceled. Contrastingly, Brad Pitt, who has previously collaborated with Tarantino in “Inglorious Basterds” and “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” would have likely starred in the aborted film, possibly as the main character.

George Clooney makes a return to the big screen as “Wolfs” hits select theaters on September 20, and a week later, streams on Apple TV+. Unfortunately, details about the release date of his movie with Noah Baumbach are still unknown. However, when it does come out, you’ll need a Netflix subscription to catch it.
