Oscar-winning Hollywood actor, 56-year-old George Clooney gave an interview The Sunday Timesin which he told why he plans to suspend or even completely complete his stellar acting career.
Clooney has not taken part in the filming for more than a year - in 2016 the film "Financial Monster" was released, which, quite possibly, will become the final one in the artist's career. “I used to film to pay my bills, but I don't need money anymore,” says George. The actor sold his firm Casamigosmaking tequila for 1 billion dollars. Clooney created the company in partnership with Randy Gerber (husband of Cindy Crawford) and actor Mike Meldman 4 a year ago. After the sale, each partner received 700 million, and the rest will be transferred to their accounts within 10 years.
“I'm 56 years old - I'm not the guy that hooks girls anymore. Now I have money, and I can do what I really like. I have been striving for this for the last 15 years, choosing films that not everyone believed in, but I found them promising, ”said the actor. At the same time, Clooney wants to pay attention to directing, but does not completely renounce his work in the cinema - George claims that if he is offered such a role, “like Paul Newman in The Verdict, he will agree. However, he does not believe in the likelihood of this.
Clooney jokes that if he still needs extra money, he already knows how to earn it - just shoot a regular coffee ad.
