What did Quentin Tarantino say about George Clooney? Actor opens up about getting irritated with the director's recent comment

George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino appear to be at odds following recent comments made by the director. In a joint cover story for GQ Magazine published on August 13, 2024, George Clooney and Brad Pitt discussed their upcoming movie Wolfs and their experiences in Hollywood.

During the conversation, Clooney revealed that he was quite annoyed at the comments made by Tarantino. Clooney said:

“Quentin said some s*** about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him. 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 further added:

“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 f****** career.”

The actor was shocked at the director's suggestion that he had not made any good movies since 2000. However, it is not clear which interview the actor was referring to. Despite that, he stated that he was fortunate to have worked with directors like Quentin Tarantino. Nonetheless, after the filmmaker's comment, he did not seem to be bothered by the remarks.

George Clooney mentioned that it is the director and screenplay that hold significance in an actor’s career. His remark is evident because he had a fruitful career over the last few decades. Clooney received the Academy Award for the best supporting actor for the 2005 film Syriana.
