Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
George Clooney has been dominating headlines again thanks to a mix of sharp political commentary, business daring, and a rare personal candor that Hollywood rarely sees. In a much-discussed recent CBS News interview and a separate Hindustan Times report, Clooney did not mince words regarding the Democratic Party’s decision to nominate Kamala Harris for the 2024 U.S. presidential race, calling it a “mistake.” He lamented that Harris was put in a no-win situation, forced to defend her record while trying to differentiate herself from her predecessor, and he reiterated that the party should have held an open primary rather than rushing a replacement after Biden’s widely panned debate. This aligns with his earlier New York Times op-ed where he urged President Biden to step aside, and he stands firm in not regretting that role, even as it placed him at the center of Democratic infighting. Meanwhile, Hunter Biden himself fired back in a Channel 5 YouTube interview, questioning why anyone should care what Clooney thinks and blaming schedule demands and medication for his father’s debate struggles, in a public family-versus-Hollywood moment that only fueled more coverage.
Business-wise, George Clooney proves yet again he’s more than just a movie star, as Page Six and Men’s Journal both highlight that he and partner Rande Gerber are launching a non-alcoholic beer brand. After banking a billion-dollar windfall from the Casamigos tequila sale in 2017, they’re betting big on the burgeoning “sober curious” trend. Sources indicate the brew—crafted during the duo’s motorcycle trips and late-night sessions with business partner Mike Meldman—hits the U.S. market in March, with the usual Clooney-Gerb flair for story and style. Given the already surging U.S. demand for non-alcoholic spirits, this move could be another major business coup in the making, and industry watchers are abuzz about whether Clooney can bring his Midas touch to this new venture.
On the entertainment front, Clooney’s starring turn in the film “Jay Kelly” is getting attention for its meta themes: he plays a global superstar wrestling with personal shortcomings, a role he described on CBS as distinctly different from his real life but offering sharp reflections on the costs of fame, family, and regret. He’s also made headlines for discussing his efforts to maintain a normal life for his twin children with Amal Clooney and shared stories about the discipline of nearly six months of sobriety while rehearsing on Broadway—then playfully recounting how he got “high school drunk” after losing at the Tonys to Esquire in an October feature.
His private life is never far from the news either, with features in outlets like The RPA Group and SSB Crack News delving into the glamorous real estate empire he shares with Amal, spanning Lake Como, the River Thames, Manhattan, and a sprawling Provence vineyard. Social media chatter this week centers not just on his political hot takes but also on the persistent speculation about how Clooney is shifting the image of the modern Hollywood icon—balancing movie sets, presidential persuasion, and global business, all while chauffeuring his kids to school. If anyone doubted George Clooney’s ability to stay relevant, this past week certainly proved he’s more than up to the task.
