Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Fresh off his storied Broadway run in Good Night and Good Luck George Clooney’s name has buzzed everywhere from the Tony Awards to major film festivals. After a record-breaking close—the show became the highest-grossing play on Broadway according to AOL—Clooney walked the Tony red carpet with Amal looking sharp in his classic tux while his wife dazzled in an off-the-shoulder white gown. The glamorous couple’s appearance came just hours after Clooney completed his final show and clinched his first Tony nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play. The Tony Awards have positioned Clooney among major stage contenders and the Broadway world is already calling his three-month run historic as reported by Yahoo Entertainment.
But his pace didn’t slow. As soon as the theater lights cooled Clooney hit Venice for the premiere of his new film Jay Kelly directed by Noah Baumbach and co-starring Adam Sandler and Laura Dern. Reports from The Hollywood Reporter and People confirm Clooney and Amal turned heads with Italian-riviera style on arrival then social media buzzed with videos of Clooney boarding a boat to leave the Excelsior—he was forced to cancel appearances due to a sinus infection on doctor’s orders missing a high-profile press junket and dinner with the cast. Speculation about whether he’d recover in time for the official press conference and world premiere persisted but the significance of Jay Kelly remains clear. As Variety details Clooney plays an actor reflecting on life’s highs and missteps and the film is set for a U.S. theatrical release on November 14 before heading to Netflix December 5. More recently the Montclair Film Festival announced Jay Kelly will open the 2025 festival this October per NJ Arts.
On the philanthropic side The Albies—hosted by the Clooneys’ Foundation for Justice—again drew A-list attention last week in NYC. Clooney gushed on the red carpet about Amal’s impact remarking to People that she’s “always on the right side of history… I’m always proud to be in the same room with her." Their tenth wedding anniversary is this September a detail multiple outlets noted as the couple continues to embody the power couple ideal.
Asked about broader topics Clooney gave a new interview in 72 Magazine with Julia Roberts expressing deep concern about children and social media—from ABC Clooney admits he personally avoids Instagram and Facebook and works to keep his kids off the internet as much as possible citing the “bigger risks and longer consequences.” His approach stands out in a far noisier celebrity culture.
As far as business headlines Clooney’s wealth continues to be shaped by the billion-dollar Casamigos tequila sale and lucrative production work. MyJar puts his current net worth at $742.8 million ranking him among the top five richest actors globally—a reminder that Clooney’s financial acumen matches his artistic and humanitarian pursuits.
Social media has swirled with fan praise for his return to the silver screen alongside old friend Brad Pitt in Wolfs which premiered in Venice just weeks ago. Images of Clooney and Pitt were widely shared as fans celebrated the duo’s on-screen reunion. For now all eyes are on his recovery from illness and the November release of Jay Kelly with speculation—unconfirmed as of today—regarding possible Oscar and awards season momentum.
