George Clooney says he was offered $35 million for a single day’s work shooting an ad for an airline.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, George Clooney said he rejected a multimillion-dollar paycheck for a foreign airline commercial after talking it over with his wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney.
On Friday, Clooney said: “I was offered $35 million for one day’s work for an airline commercial, but I talked to Amal about it and we decided it’s not worth it.”
The actor, who won a supporting actor Oscar for “Syriana” and best picture for “Argo” said that the airline was associated with “a country that, although it’s an ally, is questionable at times, and so I thought: ‘Well, if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it.’”
Clooney was talking to The Guardian about his new film “The Tender Bar,” which he directed, but does not star in. The film, which stars Ben Affleck, Daniel Ranieri and Tye Sheridan, follows a boy growing up on Long Island who seeks out father figures among the patrons at his uncle’s bar.
