George Clooney Tells Quentin Tarantino to 'F*ck Off' After Director Says He's Not a Movie Star
The actor and director starred opposite each other in Tarantino's 1996 film, 'From Dusk Till Dawn.'
George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino aren’t seeing eye-to-eye.
The actor revealed that he’s upset with comments Tarantino made about Clooney’s acting career in a new interview with GQ.
“Quentin said some shit about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him,” Clooney told the publication, alongside his Wolfs co-star Brad Pitt.
“He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about [Pitt], and somebody else, and then this guy goes, ‘Well, what about George?’ He goes, ‘He’s not a movie star.’ 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.’”
The remarks made Pitt laugh. Clooney added, “So now I’m like, ‘All right, dude, fuck off.’ I don’t mind giving him shit. He gave me shit.”
Clooney and Tarantino co-starred in the director’s 1996 film, From Dusk Till Dawn, and Pitt has also appeared in a couple of Tarantino films, like 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Pitt said Tarantino’s acting “was pretty good” in the film, and Clooney seemingly disagreed, saying, “He was okay in it.” Pitt continued, “There’s a scene, I’m blanking on it. But he’s really good.”
