George Clooney Fires Back: ‘I Don’t Care What Critics Say’ – Actor Shuts Down Haters With Bold Response

The film industry legend, actor and director, George Clooney gave a recent interview, in which he openly responded to one of the many complaints following his career, the allegation that he plays himself in his movies. And he simply and succinctly replied with the following utterance: I don t give a sh**t. Clooney claimed his range saying that few actors in his age group earn the privilege to star in broad comedies like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and in dramas involving heavy schenker like Michael Clayton and Syriana successfully.

He continued to assert that it is much more difficult to play yourself than it seems, indicating that it requires a particular type of capacity to bring your own flavor to a character while making it feel credible and convincing. This unreserved claim demonstrates an actor that is not afraid of his skills, or what people may say about it, which is an outlook that he personally views as a result of not finding success within the mainstream until his thirties.

Versatility in Roles

Any career Clooney would have was evident of his capacity to fit into many different characters, no matter what a few critics would claim. The record of his film work is symbolized by the man who could be a persuasive conman in the Ocean trilogy and a hardened spy in Syriana (a role that got him Oscar nomination Award) and a good-looking, though not so bright, prisoner on the run in O Brother, Where Art Thou. 

This is not the extent of diversity in his acting, as he makes a name as a director and a producer as well with his movies working as a director have been lauded by the critics including Good Night, and Good Luck. and The Ides of March. Through this spectrum, it is clear that Clooney does not perform a single role, but rather possesses a skill of selecting the films, which challenge him to go beyond his smooth character.

The Power of Perspective

The inertness to criticism is something that is facilitated by a distinctive career path that the actor has had. He languished in Hollywood for more than ten years, grabbing small television parts before landing a major role on popular medical series ER at the age of 33. This late success, Clooney reveals, provided him with a great lesson in the transitory nature of the business.

He learned at a young age that the business is about as much to do with you as it has to do with anyone and success is not forever. The experience of being grounded appears to have provided him with a hard skin that enables him to concentrate on the work and not to be bogged down by other people opinions. It is not only his inherent charm which makes him feel confident after his long odyssey.
