Clooney Reacts with Humor on CBS
During an appearance on CBS Mornings with Gayle King, Clooney chuckled at the “movie star” jab, playfully admitting, “That might be true.” But when it came to the political dig, he was far less amused and far more direct.

Clooney made it clear he’s not looking for approval from Trump—or anyone else. “My job is not to make the president happy. My job is to speak the truth every chance I get,” he stated confidently.
He also acknowledged that backlash is nothing new when it comes to his outspoken political stance. From Trump to Elon Musk, Clooney knows criticism comes with the territory.
