George Clooney and his wife Amal are once again in the spotlight due to a revelation that has left many speechless. The couple, known for their discretion, have surprised everyone with details that few knew, showing that behind the glamour there are decisions with great meaning. This confession has caused great anticipation in the entertainment world.
Since they got married in 2014, George and Amal have formed a solid and very close couple. Their relationship has remained strong over the years, based on respect and shared values. Together, they face the challenges of fame and success, supporting each other every step of the way.
George Clooney's career and principles
George Clooney is not only famous for his roles in Ocean’s Eleven or ER, but also for his social and political influence. His letter published in The New York Times was decisive for Joe Biden to reconsider his presidential candidacy. This powerful and committed voice is reflected in each of his professional and personal decisions.
With an estimated fortune of 500 million euros ($500 million), George could retire without any problems. However, he has always been very selective with his projects. In an interview for The Guardian he confessed that he turned down an offer of 35 million euros ($35 million) for working just one day in a commercial.
The surprising confession from George and Amal Clooney that has paralyzed Hollywood
What many didn't know is that he made this decision together with his wife Amal. The offer came from an airline linked to an allied country, but with a questionable image. George explained that after talking with Amal, they decided not to accept it because it kept them up at night and wasn't worth it.
"I was offered 35 million euros ($35 million) for one day of work in an airline commercial," Clooney confessed. "But I talked with Amal about it and we both decided it wasn't worth it," he explained.
This refusal shows the couple's consistency and their ability to prioritize values. Amal, an expert in human rights, has been an essential pillar in these decisions. Her influence and support have helped George keep a firm stance in the face of fame and money.
Generosity and friendship, the other side of George Clooney
Beyond turning down million-euro offers, George has shown himself to be a generous person with his friends. In 2013, after the success of the film Gravity, he gave one million euros ($1 million) to several close friends. This action was a way to thank them for their support over the years.
Rande Gerber, a close friend of George Clooney, recalled with emotion the surprise he experienced when he was invited to dinner at the actor's house. There, Clooney made a very special delivery that no one expected.
In an interview with the BBC, Gerber explained how the evening began. "George starts to say: 'Listen, I want you to know how much you all have meant to me... I couldn't be where I am today without all of you.'"
It was at that moment when each guest opened a briefcase with one million euros ($1 million) in cash. This gesture shows the loyalty and gratitude that George Clooney feels toward those who have supported him in his career and personal life.
He not only gave the money, but he also covered the corresponding taxes to spare them any worries. The actor's generosity goes beyond money, showing the value he places on friendship and unconditional support.
