If there’s one thing that fans love the most about George Clooney, it’s the fact that he loves to tell it like it is. Unlike many other stars in the entertainment industry, there isn’t a pretentious air about him, which is perhaps the reason why he’s doing the dishes at home more than anything else in his life right now.
The actor recently opened up to W Magazine about his ‘pandemic’ hobbies, why he decided to take on his role in The Midnight Sky, and the best piece of advice he’s ever received. Here’s what he has to say.
Just like many other people in his industry, George hasn’t been doing much work lately, but for the otherwise busy actor, that might be a good thing. But when he received the script for Netflix’s The Midnight Sky, he knew that he had to say yes to the project.
George Clooney Opens Up About Lack Of Acting, New Pandemic Hobbies
George said, “I haven’t been acting very much lately. But this was a part that, the minute I read it, I felt like I was probably the right guy to play it. When we got hit with that first blast of 70 mph, 40 degrees below zero weather [in Iceland], I questioned everything I’ve ever done in my life. There was a moment when I thought, I volunteered to do this?! But nobody said I’m smart. I loved that there was a dreamlike quality to the film. You can’t tell what’s real and what’s not. He might be losing his mind. Or he might be sane. Originally, the narrative was about regret and seeking redemption. But as the pandemic took over, the film became about our inability to be home and hug the people we love.”
The father-of-two also opened up about his “pandemic hobbies.” George has spent the most part of this last year at home in Los Angeles with his wife, Amal Clooney, and their two children, Alexander and Ella.
He said, “I’ll tell you what I’ve taken on as a hobby: two or three loads of laundry a day, dishes all fucking day, because these kids are all slobs. Apparently, you have to wash your children every once in a while. I cut [my son’s] hair, and I cut my own hair too, but I’ve always cut my own hair. My hair is like straw. I haven’t cut my daughter’s hair. I’d get in trouble if I did. If I screw up my son’s hair, he’ll grow out of it. But my wife would kill me if I touched my daughter’s hair.”
Now, as far as the best piece of advice he’s ever received, George revealed “My aunt Rosemary [Clooney, the actor and jazz singer] told me, ‘Never mix grain and grape.’ No wine and tequila. Or vodka and champagne. I was 7. We learned early in Kentucky.”
