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.
