George Clooney has the right way to stay away from troubles as a public figure in the era of social networks: hold on to it.
In the profile for Washington Post Published on Friday, an actor who received an Oscar, said that he manages to avoid too much influence for today's round-the-clock media cycle, without participating on these platforms, which, as he admits, would be problematic “if I have three drinks at night.”
He also shared: “I do not think that you can be a star and be so affordable.”
This was part of a wider conversation, in which Clooney determined how certain movie stars that came across him, like Gregori Pek and Paul Newman, both of which were his friends before their death, illustrated how to bring themselves to the center of attention.
“This does not mean that you cannot be stupid and do nonsense, but it means to defend what you believe in, carry yourself with a little dignity,” – “Ticket to Paradise” The star said. “And they both had great humor about themselves.”
Clooney, who was awarded honor in the center of Kennedy along with Gladys Knight and U2,, among other things, actively participates in humanitarian efforts in addition to his classes as an actor, producer and director.
Ethan Hawk, who led Clooney in a voice role as a Newman in the HBO documentary this year, “The Last Cinema Strokes”, noted that it is not surprising that he was receiving such a prestigious honor. (CNN and HBO MAX are part of the same maternal company, Warner Bros. Discovery.)
“It is interesting that this year he receives the honors of Kennedy Center, because Newman also received this. They fit into a long line of really responsible artists, people who contribute to American culture and are civilian leaders, ”said Hawk The Post. “You like George’s policy or admire where he gives his money and time, you must admire his readiness to lead and his willingness to take care of.”
Stephen Sodelberg, whose masterpiece of 1998 “outside the field of vision” starred in Clooney opposite Jennifer Lopez– He said that the actor is unique for not taking care that his policy could jeopardize his glory.
“The default regime does not really lead you to the place of thought about justice or the protection of people who cannot protect themselves. It’s great when people use this juice for these purposes, but this is not the way the flow flows, ”said Soderberg about Clooney’s efforts through his Clooney Foundation for the judge with his wife Amal, a human rights lawyer.
“The stream flows in the direction of self -orientation and is in the method of extracting what you can, from this business, and everything that you can from the world as a whole … He is one of the few people who beat up. This is rare. ”
Clooney will be presented within the framework with honors from the Kennedy Center on December 28 at 8 pm on CBS.
