For brands, calling on stars in their advertising campaigns is commonplace. However, it happens that for various reasons, the latter do not accept the opportunities offered to them. And during an interview with the Guardian, Friday December 3, 2021, George Clooney returned to the reasons behind his recent refusal.
The 60-year-old actor – who directed the film The Tender Bar, scheduled for theaters on December 17 -, answered many questions about his next opus, but also about his long career in cinema. After indicating having “enough money now“, the husband of Amal Clooney (since 2014) also confided on the reasons which encouraged him to refuse a contract of a staggering amount.”I was offered $ 35 million for a day’s work in an airline commercial“, he indicated, then mentioning to have discussed it with his wife:”We decided it wasn’t worth it. “
And for good reason, Amal Clooney, being very invested in the field of human rights, she then shared important information with him. During his interview, the father of Ella and Alexander (4 years old) explained that the airline was associated with a “country which, although it is an ally, is sometimes questionable“.”So I thought, ‘Well if it takes me a minute of sleep it’s not worth it“, he then added.
A very close couple
After seven years of marriage, George and Amal Clooney remain as in love as ever. However, in a recent interview with the magazine Variety, last October, the actor returned to an astonishing ban that he imposed on his wife. After playing the bat hero in 1997, in the film Batman & robin directed by Joel Schumacher, the father of the family unveiled, not without derision: “When you destroy a franchise like I did (…) There are some movies where I think, ‘I want my wife to have a little respect for me’“, he explained.
