It’s fun because the kids slowly discover what I do, you know?!”he questioned.
Nevertheless, Clooney acknowledged that he does not rule out the idea of gradually releasing this idea. not to be seen on the big screen.
“Look, it’s hard because I don’t like looking back, but now that I’m turning 65 in a week, looking forward is a much shorter perspective, you understand? So maybe I’ll look back later.”concluded the famous 64-year-old.
