Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
George Clooney has been everywhere the past few days as the buzz builds for his latest film Jay Kelly, a Noah Baumbach-directed dramedy in which Clooney stars alongside Adam Sandler, Laura Dern, and Billy Crudup. The film had its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, screened at Telluride, and is set for a selective theater release November 14, before a wider Netflix drop December 5. In Jay Kelly, Clooney plays a contemporary Cary Grant-like movie star reflecting on regrets and glories, and the poster showing him and Sandler in a darkened theater has been making the rounds on social media. The film’s festival run has kept Clooney in the limelight, with coverage everywhere from Empire magazine to Entertainment Tonight and Variety.
During the recent LA premiere, George Clooney had the press talking after commenting on the now infamous $100 million jewel heist at the Louvre. Clooney, world-famous for his role as a charming thief in Ocean’s Eleven, told Variety that he was “very proud of those guys,” and called the real-life theft “cool,” although he clarified it was “terrible.” He even joked the next Ocean’s plot should be about robbing the Louvre, saying, “But somebody’s already done it, man.” These offhand remarks sparked debate online, with many noting that Clooney seemed more amused than concerned about the fate of the stolen crown jewels. Social media lit up with the quote: “If you’re a professional thief like I am, I was very proud of those guys.” Some found his comments glib, while others appreciated the sly humor from Hollywood’s favorite conman.
Elsewhere in the promo blitz, Clooney’s been candid about age and fame, telling Empire, “You’re not allowed to get old... People tell me ‘You’re a lot older than I thought.’ Like, f*** off! I’m 64!” He reflected on how audiences project their own lives onto movie stars, admitting it’s surreal watching clips from his own filmography as his Jay Kelly character.
On the business front, Clooney is pivoting yet again. Reports from Men’s Journal and Parade reveal that George Clooney, together with Rande Gerber and Mike Meldman, is about to launch a new non-alcoholic beer brand, following their billion-dollar Casamigos tequila sale. The new product targets the booming “sober curious” movement and is slated to debut in March. Clooney recently joked to Esquire about abstaining from alcohol during his Broadway run, only to get “high school drunk” on Tony night. Social media and YouTube have highlighted Clooney and Gerber’s choice to “lean into the life they’ve always lived,” teasing that the brand is “made for real friends, by real friends.”
On the personal side, Clooney’s latest interviews with CBS News and Esquire touch on his life as an actor, father, activist, and entrepreneur, discussing why he’s raising his twins with Amal in France and waxing poetic about his versatile career. No sign of slowing down, even though, as he quipped while sprinting with his longtime security guard Giovanni Zeqireya on set, “I’m 64 years old! I can’t run, and he’s seventy-f******-one.”
In sum, the headlines for Clooney this week have been: his wry commentary on the Louvre heist, his festival circuit marathon for Jay Kelly, and his newest beer business set to shake the market in 2026. If there’s speculation about Clooney stepping away from public life or Hollywood, it remains just that—he’s clearly in the thick of it, mixing classic charm, entrepreneurial hustle, and the effortless candor that keeps him a perennial headline.
