Alert – George Clooney reveals he’s ‘irritated’ with Quentin Tarantino for talking ‘s**t’ about his movie career as he says the director can ‘f*** off’ in rare unspoken interview with pal Brad Pitt

George Clooney has revealed that he’s ‘a little irritated’ with Quentin Tarantino for talking ‘s**t’ about him.

The pair starred together as brothers in Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 thriller From Dusk ‘Till Dawn, which was written by Tarantino early in his career.

Before this, George made his name portraying Doug Ross in medical drama ER before going on to launch a successful Hollywood career, starring in huge films such as O Brother, Where Art Thou?, One Fine Day and Out of Sight.

But despite their past collaboration and his illustrious career both in front of and behind the camera, Quentin, 61, reportedly had some negative things to say of George, 63, of late, with the hunk not impressed at all. 

Speaking in a joint GQ interview with pal Brad Pitt, George remarked: ‘Quentin said some s**t 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. 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***ing career.”‘ 

Instead of giving his support on the matter, his longtime pal Brad evidently found George’s rant hilarious, chucking ‘Heh heh heh heh heh’ amid their interview.

Continuing to share his frustration at the director, George went on: ‘So now I’m like, all right, dude, f*** off. I don’t mind giving him s***. He gave me s***.’ 

In spite of his irritation, George went on to insist that they as actors were ‘really lucky’ to work with ‘great directors’, noting that directors and the screenplay of a film is what ‘keeps you alive’ – having learnt that after starring in ‘really bad films’.

While the film star is a tad frustrated at Quentin, he had nothing but great things to say about his long time pal Brad, who stars with him in new action comedy film Wolfs.

After making a joke about ‘restraining orders’, George told how the two ‘check in on each other every now and again, which is an ‘important’ part of friendship seeing how life can get ‘complicated at times’.

Gushing about his friend, who first starred together in Ocean’s Eleven 24 years ago, Brad shared that George is the ‘best at understanding’, adding that he calls him on ‘numerous occasions’ when things get ‘bumpy’.

Delving deeper into their connection, Brad likens their A-list fame to being like a gazelle cut of from the herd, reflecting that he finds ‘comfort’ in the fact that George is one of the few people who understands his situation. 

The pair starred together as brothers in Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 thriller From Dusk ‘Till Dawn, which was written by Tarantino early in his career.

Friendship aside, the two then went on to discuss their 80s mullets, with things getting competitive between the pair.

While Brad claimed his mullet was the ‘one of the greatest that ever existed’, George begged to differ as he insisted his locks were better, before acting the peacemaker by insisting their hair was part of their ‘really good shared experience’.

Brad and George first starred together in 2001’s Ocean’s Eleven, reuniting in 2004’s Ocean’s Twelve and 2007’s Ocean’s Thirteen.

Brad also had a cameo in George’s directorial debut, 2002’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, and they starred in the Coen Brothers’ 2008 film Burn After Reading.

They also starred in the 2012 play 8 by Dustin Lance Black that aired live on YouTube with a star-studded cast also including Kevin Bacon, Jamie Lee Curtis and more. 

Their latest venture Wolfs sees the pair portray two stubborn ‘lone wolf’ professional fixers  – whose lives are upended when they are assigned the same job.

It was revealed in 2022 that both Pitt and Clooney both took pay cuts to ensure the film would also get a theatrical release along with its debut on Apple TV Plus.

‘It was an exciting time because it got to be one of those weird bidding wars which happen every once in a while, and it ended up being pretty extreme, and Apple came in with a really big number for Brad and I,’ Clooney told Deadline in 2022.

‘And we said we’d like to take less as long as we can guarantee that we can have a theatrical release, and they said great,’ Clooney added, in a reference to Apple. 

Apple TV+ acquired the rights to the film after winning out on a studio bidding war between up to 10 companies that included Sony, Lionsgate, Annapurna, MGM, Universal, Warner Bros, Apple, Netflix and Amazon.

Wolves was written and directed by Jon Watts, who is best known to many fans for the Spider-Man films starring Tom Holland: Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), as well as the supernatural horror film Clown (2014) the road thriller Cop Car (2015).
