George Clooney goes away from a genre of film For good: Rom-Coms.
Said the actor underneath CBS“60 minutes” that he will no longer lead “romantic movies” and instead is only good with younger stars that take on the lead roles. “Look, I’m 63 years old,” said the Oscar winner. “I’m not trying to compete with 25-year-old leading men. It’s not my job. I’m not doing romantic movies anymore.”
Clooney instead focuses on his Broadway debut with “Good night and good luck” adaptation. Clooney wrote and directed the film in 2005 based on the true story of Edward R. Murrow who fought against McCarthyism black lists. However, Clooney admitted that in the lead role on Broadway is “harder the older you get”, even though he took years for him to think he was ready for the stage.
“I didn’t do the work required to get there,” he said. “There’s not a single actor who lives who would not have loved to have, you know, been to Broadway. So it’s fun with it,” Clooney said. “It’s harder the older you get. But why not?”
With regard to his Rom-Com pension, Clooney seems to have had its last romantic role during the 2022 Rome-com movie “Ticket to Paradise” opposite its often partner Julia Roberts. Clooney told us New York Times At that time it had been 28 years since he has acted in a Rome-com movie (apparently not counting “unbearable cruelty” in 2003).
“They sent me the script (for ‘Ticket to Paradise’), and it was clearly written for Julia and I,” Clooney said in a joint interview with co -star and colleague “Ticket to Paradise” Manager Roberts. “The fact is that the characters’ names were originally Georgia and Julian. I had not really done a romantic comedy since” A nice day “(1996) – in have not succeeded As Julia has in that forum – but I read it and thought, “Well, if Jules is up for it, I think it can be fun.”
“Pretty Woman” actress Roberts added that “Ticket to Paradise” could have been a “disaster“If Clooney did not sign in to play his ex-husband on the screen. Thankfully, he did.
And age seems to be top in the mind for Clooney, who also later told New York Times 2024 as “Ocean’s Thirteen” sequence will refer to how much the ensemble has aged since the previous installment. “It’s like we’re all Too old To do the jobs we used to do, Clooney said.
