In Venice, while stirring excitement for his latest cinematic venture with Brad Pitt titled "Wolfs," George Clooney took a moment to reflect on the political landscape back home. During this time, he revisited his controversial New York Times op-ed from July 10, which had originally stirred much conversation. As the topic came up, there was a mix of reactions in the room—some even applauded. However, Clooney quickly redirected the applause towards President Biden, whom he lauded as embodying unparalleled selflessness in leadership since the days of George Washington. He emphasized that Biden’s willingness to step aside for what he perceived as the greater good was a rare and commendable relinquishment of power, a trait not often seen in leaders worldwide.
Clooney elaborated that in the grand scheme of things, it's not the intricate political maneuvers that will be remembered but rather Biden's act of stepping down—a decision he described as incredibly challenging yet profoundly selfless. This move by Biden stood out to Clooney as something deserving of high praise and recognition.
Moreover, Clooney touched upon his endorsement of Kamala Harris and expressed optimism about the state of global affairs under current leadership—a sentiment that might come as a surprise to some. Reflecting on his public call for Biden to withdraw—which at the time marked one of the most significant pleas from a notable figure within Biden's circle—Clooney now sees a bright future ahead.
As conversations about his new film and politics intertwined, it became clear that Clooney remains deeply engaged with both his craft and civic responsibilities. At 63 years old, not only is he excited about sharing "Wolfs" with audiences around the world but he's also keenly observing and participating in the broader societal dialogue—always ready to support leadership that aligns with his vision for a better tomorrow.
