Geroge Clooney BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
George Clooney has been in the spotlight these past few days, but not always by choice. According to People magazine, Clooney, who is now 64, missed the Telluride premiere of his much-anticipated Netflix film Jay Kelly due to a nasty sinus infection that’s had him sidelined from major public appearances and press events for over a week. His illness first surfaced during his and wife Amal’s glamorous visit to the Venice International Film Festival, where—despite feeling unwell—he did walk the red carpet, share applause, and receive a 10-minute standing ovation for Jay Kelly. Deadline and The Hollywood Reporter both noted Clooney’s visibly limited presence, with Amal by his side as he skipped subsequent press conferences and high-profile dinners. A rep confirmed to People that Clooney is now on the mend and following doctors’ orders to rest up, leading to a string of canceled appearances.
The film Jay Kelly, starring Clooney alongside Adam Sandler and Laura Dern, has generated serious awards buzz, raising hopes that Clooney could add another significant accolade to his career when the movie debuts in theaters mid-November before hitting Netflix in December.
Making headlines in the political columns, Maryland Matters reports on an opulent Italian getaway by Maryland Governor Wes Moore, who spent time on Clooney’s Lake Como yacht—an incident widely picked up by British tabloids with photos spurring speculation about Clooney’s rumored support for Moore’s future political ambitions. Clooney, known for his deep pockets and history of fundraising for national campaigns, has been openly supportive of Moore, calling him “a proper leader” in a recent CNN interview.
RadarOnline, meanwhile, highlights rumors of Clooney growing increasingly prickly on the subject of aging, his acting range, and his personal life. The site describes his offhand, even testy, remarks about criticism of his acting style and hints at domestic friction with Amal over his political involvement and ongoing work commitments. Social media chatter has amplified these rumors, but no major platform posts from Clooney himself have confirmed or denied them.
Business news continues to reference the massive $1 billion sale of Casamigos, the tequila brand Clooney co-founded, as a hallmark for celebrities diversifying their fortunes into private equity and venture capital, according to Forbes and J.P. Morgan’s latest reports on celebrity entrepreneurship.
In summary, George Clooney’s week has been a swirl of illness-provoked absence, festival accolades, yacht-based political intrigue, and persistent rumors about his state of mind and marriage—all while his business legacy keeps him in the high-stakes conversation far beyond Hollywood.
