Hollywood: George Clooney doesn’t want to make love films anymore

US actor George Clooney (“Out of Sight”) leaves the Hollywood romance behind. “I’m no longer making love films,” he said in an interview with the US broadcaster CBS News. “I’m not trying to compete with 25 -year -old leading actors. It’s not my job.”

At the age of 63 he tried something new: in March he made his debut on Broadway as a pioneer journalist Edward R. Murrow – and met with challenges on the boards of New York’s famous theater mile. “It is nerve-wracking and there are millions of reasons why it is stupid to do that,” said the Hollywood star. It is not easy to convince the spectators from the trip to 1954.

The stage play is an adaptation of the film “Good Night, and Good Luck” from 2005. In the multiple Oscar-nominated film, Clooney also participated in a supporting role, but above all he directed and wrote the script with his friend Grant Heslov. Heslov has now also developed the stage version for the play in winter Garden Theater.

Despite a long acting experience, he was not immune to stage fright on stage – especially when his wife watches Amal, said Clooney CBS News. Unlike on the film set, his family can watch on site. This makes the two-time Oscar winner (“Syriana”, “Argo”) nervous. “I don’t look at her. My wife sits all, very, at the back.”
