George Clooney says he turned down $35 million for a single day's work - INSIDER

  • George Clooney said he once turned down $35 million for one day's work.
  • The actor told The Guardian that he'd gotten an offer to feature in an airline commercial.
  • It was associated with "a country that, although it's an ally, is questionable at times," he said.

George Clooney said he was once offered $35 million for one day's work but turned it down after deciding it wasn't worth it.

The Oscar-winning actor and producer revealed his almost payday during an interview with The Guardian published on Friday.

The interviewer asked him whether he'd ever thought, "I have enough money now."

"Well, yeah. I was offered $35 million for one day's work for an airline commercial," he said, adding that he consulted with Amal, his wife, "and we decided it's not worth it."

The airline was associated with "a country that, although it's an ally, is questionable at times," he said, "and so I thought: 'Well, if it takes a minute's sleep away from me, it's not worth it.'"

Alongside his decades-long career in Hollywood, Clooney, 60, has an extensive business portfolio. The Guardian mentioned reports that he'd earned over $40 million for his advertisement work with the Swiss coffee maker Nespresso.

His tequila company, Casamigos, was sold four years ago for $1 billion, Insider previously reported.

Later during the wide-ranging interview, Clooney, who's on a promotion tour for his latest film, "The Tender Bar," was asked why he no longer acted as frequently as he used to.

"In general, there just aren't that many great parts — and, look, I don't have to act," he said. "My wife and I had this conversation when I turned 60 this summer. I said: 'I can still bounce around pretty good, and we both love what we do. But we gotta make sure we don't book ourselves silly.' So, part of it is just us making sure we live our lives."

"The Tender Bar," based on a book of the same name by J.R. Moehringer, stars Ben Affleck, Lily Rabe, and Tye Sheridan. It's set to be released in theaters later this month.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her...
