George Clooney said he is “a little irritated” by Quentin Tarantino after the director claimed the actor was “not a movie star.”
“Quentin said some s–t about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him,” the “Ocean’s Eleven” star said in a GQ cover interview alongside Brad Pitt.
“He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about [Pitt] and somebody else, and then this [interviewer] goes, ‘Well, what about George?’ He goes, ‘He’s not a movie star.’”

Clooney, 63, claimed Tarantino, 61, then asked the interviewer to name one of the “Ticket to Paradise” star’s movies “‘since the millennium.'”
“And I was like, ‘Since the millennium‘? That’s kind of my whole f–king career,” Clooney continued.
“So now I’m like, all right, dude, f–k off. I don’t mind giving him s–t. He gave me s–t. But no, look, we’re really lucky we got to work with these great directors. Director and screenplay is what keeps you alive.”

In the 2000s, however, the two-time Academy Award winner starred in several films, including “Ocean’s Eleven,” “Ocean’s Twelve,” “The Perfect Storm,” “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” and many more.
Clooney has now been acting for more than 40 years — a number that has surprised him.
“I remember I talked to [Matt] Damon about this 25 years ago, when he first hit with his movie and won the Oscar,” he told GQ.
“I was like, ‘Just know that if you get a 10-year career, playing at that level, it’s an absolute jackpot.’ Nobody sustains it much longer than that. So, yeah, I’m surprised that I still have the work.”
