Clooney: Fired or Quit? Hollywood Career Almost Ended
6 Jan
Summary
- George Clooney almost quit acting after a dispute with a producer.
- He recalled being spoken to disrespectfully, leading to an argument.
- Another professional later helped his career after the incident.
George Clooney, now 64, recently reflected on a tumultuous on-set experience approximately ten years into his career that nearly derailed his acting ambitions. He described a significant altercation with an executive producer on a television show, stemming from being addressed disrespectfully. Clooney stated that the outcome of this argument, whether he was fired or chose to quit, remains unclear.
However, this near career-ending event was followed by a fortunate turn of events. An acquaintance, whom Clooney had helped in the past, learned of the situation and provided him with an audition and a pilot opportunity. This intervention proved crucial, allowing Clooney to remain in Hollywood and continue pursuing his acting career.
