'We are living in an age of cruelty': George Clooney rebukes Tarantino for insulting Paul Dano

Quentin Tarantino's scathing remarks on Paul Dano have sparked outrage in the film industry, with many defending the actor against the director's brutal insults. However, it seems that the criticism has fallen flat for Clooney, who has publicly expressed his desire to collaborate with Dano, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Lillard.

Clooney took to the stage at AARP's Movies for Grownups awards, where he said he would be "honoured" to work with the three actors, who were heavily criticized by Tarantino on Bret Easton Ellis's podcast. The director had called Paul Dano "weak sauce," Owen Wilson "a weak sister," and Matthew Lillard "the weakest fucking actor" in the Screen Actors Guild.

When asked about his relationship with Tarantino, Clooney has previously stated that he was not a fan of the director, calling him out for his comments on fellow actor Brad Pitt. The tension between the two appears to be far from over, but it seems that Clooney is willing to put their differences aside in order to work with actors who have been targeted by Tarantino's cruel words.

Clooney's sentiments are a stark contrast to Tarantino's, who seems to believe that Dano and his co-stars are not talented enough for the big screen. However, as Clooney so aptly put it, "We don't need to be adding to it" of this age of cruelty in Hollywood. His statement is a powerful reminder that the industry needs more positivity and less vitriol.

It's worth noting that Dano's former co-workers have come to his defense, including Ben Stiller, Matt Reeves, and Day-Lewis, whose representatives confirmed that he had agreed with sentiments expressed by an Instagram fan post declaring him "one of the best and most talented actors of his generation." Matthew Lillard has also spoken out against Tarantino's comments, saying they were damaging and hurtful.

The incident highlights the need for more empathy and understanding in Hollywood. While celebrities like Clooney are willing to put aside their differences with directors like Tarantino, it seems that many others will not stand idly by while their colleagues are ridiculed and belittled.

Ultimately, the film industry needs more people who speak out against cruelty and negativity. It's a powerful reminder that we all have a role to play in creating a positive and supportive environment for actors and filmmakers alike.

lol @ tarantino being extra 🀣 I mean, come on dude, you can't just diss someone and expect everyone to be like "oh okay, i get it". Newsflash, Quentin: your words have consequences! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ George Clooney is a total boss for calling you out and saying he'd rather work with people who aren't being savage. And btw, Paul Dano's got skills too πŸ™Œ. It's time for tarantino to take a chill pill and focus on making some actual good movies instead of trash-talking actors all the time πŸ˜’
 
omg i'm literally so down with George Clooney on this one 🀩 he's totally right that we don't need more hate in Hollywood, especially when it comes to our fave actors like Paul Dano! tarantino can keep all his negativity to himself πŸ‘‹ clooney's willingness to work with ppl who've been targeted by tarantino's cruel words is just the most awesome thing ever πŸ€— and i love how he's speaking out against cruelty in the industry - it's about time someone called out tarantino for being a bit of a jerk πŸ˜’
 
I gotta say, this whole Quentin Tarantino thing is just wild 🀯. I mean, the guy gets paid millions to make movies and yet he has no problem dissing his colleagues online? It's like, dude, you're in the public eye, own it! But at the same time, George Clooney is a total hero for calling out Tarantino's BS and saying we can do better πŸ™Œ. I love that he's willing to put aside their differences and work with talented actors who've been targeted by Tarantino's cruel words. It's all about spreading positivity and less negativity in the industry πŸ’‘. And honestly, it's refreshing to see Ben Stiller, Matt Reeves, and Daniel Day-Lewis speaking out against Tarantino's comments - we need more of that kind of support for our actors 🀝. The film industry can be a tough place, but it's moments like these that remind us of the importance of empathy and kindness πŸ’–.
 
ugh tarantino's words r really hurtful i mean who does he think he is belittling ppl like dano & wilson like that πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ i'm so glad george clooney stepped up & said he'd work with them anyway it shows u don't have to be friends w/ someone 2 make a good film btw what's wrong w/ tarantino? he used 2 be all about the art but now he just seems like a big ol' meanie πŸ˜’
 
πŸ˜’ I'm so done with Quentin Tarantino's behavior towards Paul Dano, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Lillard 🀯. Like, come on, dude, can't you just keep it civil? πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ The whole thing is just a big mess πŸŽ₯. And George Clooney speaking out about it is the least he could do πŸ‘. I mean, who wouldn't want to work with those guys after Tarantino's brutal insults? 😩 It's like, we don't need more drama in Hollywood πŸ“Ί. Let's just focus on supporting each other and being kind to one another πŸ’•.
 
I'm thinking... πŸ€”
Tarantino's being super harsh on Paul Dano, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Lillard
it's like he's trying to tear them down

but George Clooney is all about positivity 🌞
he wants to work with them because they're talented actors
not because Tarantino said mean things about them

I love how Clooney puts it "We don't need to be adding to it"
that's so true, we should focus on lifting each other up

and the fact that Ben Stiller and Matt Reeves are supporting Paul Dano is amazing
it just goes to show that kindness can win out in the end

let's keep it positive in Hollywood, folks! πŸŽ¬πŸ’•
 
OMG, George Clooney is literally the coolest dude ever! 🀩 I love how he's standing up for Paul Dano and Owen Wilson against Quentin Tarantino's harsh comments πŸ™„. And honestly, who doesn't want to work with those talented actors? 🎬 It's all about spreading positivity and kindness in Hollywood, you feel? 😊 We need more people like Clooney who are willing to put their differences aside and support each other. And I'm loving how Matthew Lillard is speaking out against Tarantino's hurtful comments πŸ’β€β™‚οΈ. Let's keep the positivity vibes going and create a more supportive environment for everyone in the film industry πŸŒˆπŸ’–
 
πŸ˜” I gotta say, Quentin Tarantino can be so extra sometimes 🀯. Like, okay dude, you're entitled to your opinions but come on! πŸ˜‚ George Clooney's response is super classy though πŸ‘, it's like he's saying "you know what? I've got a better offer" and that's exactly what the industry needs more of - positivity and less negativity 🌈. And honestly, who do we think Tarantino was trying to impress with those harsh comments? πŸ€” It's just gonna end up making him look like a mean-spirited jerk 🚫. On the other hand, I love that Paul Dano has got the support of some amazing directors and co-stars πŸ‘₯, it shows that there are people who actually care about his talent and not just his name 😊.
