George Clooney Slams Quentin Tarantino For Alleged Diss: 'Dude, F**k Off'
HuffPost
The "Ocean's Eleven" star claimed Tarantino slighted his career and argued Clooney is "not a movie star," though it's unclear if the director actually said that.
George Clooney apparently has a bone to pick with Quentin Tarantino.
In an exclusive GQ cover story published Tuesday in which the Oscar winner was interviewed by frequent costar and longtime friend Brad Pitt, the conversation turned to Tarantino — and Clooney shared that he had some beef with the director.
“Quentin said some shit about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him,” Clooney told Pitt. “He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about you, and somebody else, and then this guy goes, ‘Well, what about George?’”
“He goes, he’s not a movie star,” he continued. “And then he literally said something like, ‘Name me a movie since the millennium.’ And I was like, ‘Since the millennium?’ That’s kind of my whole fucking career … So now I’m like, all right dude, fuck off.”
Pitt, whose friendship with Clooney spans decades, couldn’t help but laugh at the alleged diss. The duo have costarred in films including “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001) and its sequels, “Burn After Reading” (2008), and the upcoming action-comedy “Wolfs.”
