George Clooney: “I f–ked too many chicks and did too many drugs”

clooney

George Clooney is the cover boy for this week’s Newsweek. It’s all about Clooney and his work in Sudan, where he’s been spending a lot of time over the past six months. Once again, since this is a celebrity site, I’m not going to get into the history of Sudan, or get into details about the genocide or the history of oppression and violent, bloody rule, or how more people should be paying attention. If you’d like to know more, here is Wikipedia’s overview. The full Clooney-Newsweek piece is here, and here are some of the highlights:

Clooney on using his celebrity: “It’s harder for authoritarian regimes to survive, because we can circumvent old structures with cell phones and the Internet,” says Clooney. “Celebrity can help focus news media where they have abdicated their responsibility. We can’t make policy, but we can ‘encourage’ politicians more than ever before.” Which was why, a few weeks ago, Clooney was being driven in a white pickup down a red dirt road under the watchful eyes of teenage soldiers armed with AK-47s. L.A. was half a world away, but the paparazzi were not far from his mind. “If they’re going to follow me anyway,” he was saying, “I want them to follow me here.”

Clooney invested in his own Sudan satellite: Celebrity statesmen function like freelance diplomats, adopting issue experts and studying policy. More pragmatic than stars turned social activists in the past, they use the levers of power to solve problems. Clooney has Sudanese rebel leaders on speed dial. He’s had AK-47s shoved in his chest. And when he’s on movie sets, he gets daily Sudan briefings via email. Now he’s gone one step further—George Clooney has a satellite. Privately funded and publicly accessible (SatSentinel.org), this eye in the sky monitors military movements on the north-south border—the powder keg in a region the U.S. director of national intelligence described a year ago as the place on earth where “a new mass killing or genocide is most likely to occur.” “I’m not tied to the U.N. or the U.S. government, and so I don’t have the same constraints. I’m a guy with a camera from 480 miles up,” Clooney says. “I’m the anti-genocide paparazzi.”

Clooney on celebrity-activists: “Bono’s model really worked,” Clooney says. “There is more attention on celebrity than ever before—and there is a use for that besides selling products.” Stars like Brad Pitt (Katrina), Ben Affleck (Congo), and Sean Penn (Haiti) followed suit. “A lot of the young actors I see coming up in the industry are not just involved, but knowledgeable on a subject and then sharing that with fans,” says Clooney. No one’s just a “peace activist” anymore—they have a specialty.

Clooney doesn‘t want to run for anything: “I didn’t live my life in the right way for politics, you know,” he said, sitting outside the Central Pub in Juba, scarfing down pizza. “I f–ked too many chicks and did too many drugs, and that’s the truth.” A smart campaigner, he believes, “would start from the beginning by saying, ‘I did it all. I drank the bong water. Now let’s talk about issues.’ That’s gonna be my campaign slogan: ‘I drank the bong water.’?”

Clooney’s strategy for public diplomacy is informed by film. “You have to get people in the theater first,” he reflects. “The trick is to be really concise—it’s a one-liner on a poster, right? You have to make it clear. ‘You can stop a war before it starts’ [or] ‘If you had a chance to prevent the next Darfur, what would you do?’? You cannot sustain people’s attention seven days a week, for a long period of time. Actors have an advantage, because you do a movie and then you disappear for a while,” he says. “That’s what John and I try to do—come back every three or four months with something new to reignite interest.” Then he jokes it might take The Real Housewives of Sudan to keep Americans’ attention.

Clooney on his job as a celebrity activist: “My job is to amplify the voice of the guy who lives here and is worried about his wife and children being slaughtered,” says Clooney, summing up the opportunity and obligation of the celebrity statesman. “He wants to shout it from the mountaintops, but he doesn’t have a very big megaphone or a very big mountain. So he’s asking anyone who has a mountain and megaphone to protect his family, his village. And if he finds me and asks, ‘You got a big megaphone?’ and I say, ‘Yes.’ ‘You got a decent-size mountain to yell it from?’ ‘Yeah, I got a pretty good-sized mountain.’ ‘Will you do me a favor and yell it?’ And I go, ‘Absolutely.’?”

[From Newsweek]

The Newsweek article is full of quotes from people who give George a lot of credit for positively affecting the situation in Southern Sudan – and I think it’s well-deserved. Clooney has put his time, his money and his credibility where his mouth is, and he did positively affect the situation. Although, and this is just nit-picking: I wish Clooney would stop referencing his 2005-06 Oscar campaign as the catalyst for him getting more involved in international humanitarian tragedies. It makes him seem… blasé. That’s my only complaint though, so he’s doing something right.

    He’s such a really smart man, and, yet, he’s always involved with women who just aren’t his equal intellectually. I get why he dates someone without a major career. He wants a woman to fit into his busy life, but there are still women out there who can fit his bill for that and still be far more intelligent than he has dated. I guess since he doesn’t plan on marrying them, they are a welcome diversion to his more serious side when he wants to play or f….k. LOL

    I hope he means something other than what I initially interpreted when he said you need to get people into theaters to get them informed. Movies tend to get a LOT wrong by either exaggeration, downplaying or just flat out making crap up.

    Having said that, good for him for trying to make a positive difference. Seriously. I probably don’t agree with a lot of his political views but so what? He is using his celebrity for something good.

  12. Whuh? says:

    Clooney’s a coattail rider and a poseur. He can’t even come up with original material. His quote about why he couldn’t run for office is basically what Brad Pitt said 1 1/2 years ago when people in New Orleans wanted him to run for mayor. Plus, Pitt and Matt Damon were involved in work in Africa for a full year before Clooney got involved in May 2006 – AFTER – he saw the publicity and interest generated by Brad and Angie going to Pakistan, Ethiopia, Namibia and other places. Clooney even said that he didn’t get motivated until he saw Pitt dragging Diane Sawyer around Ethiopia and South Africa in April 2005. Jolie was working for peace in Darfur when Clooney didn’t even know where it was or how to spell it. So for him to get a cover of Newsweek for coattail riding is ridiculous. Sure, he’s doing something to help, but he’s doing it to pump up his public image and to be seen as being on the same humanitarian level as Jolie and Pitt. Hell, he’s even sporting a Pitt-like mustache and goattee. He really needs to tone down his man-crush on Pitt. It gets a little more obvious every time I see him.

    I agree with your statement about George seeming to be blase until the 2005-06 Oscar campaign. I think it is not just an impression, but true, IMO. It took him that long to pay attention to what his celebrity could do other than get him money, drugs and sex. I love George, but I have felt for years he is emotionally immature and had a phobia about responsibility.

    I am glad to see he is *finally* going up, at least concerning how best to use his power as a celebrity.

    @Whuh?, I gotta say that I don’t really care who did what first, only that someone’s doing something. Would you rather have Clooney ignore Africa because Brad Pitt was there first?

    Anyway, Namibia and Sudan don’t have much to do with each other. Geographically, they’re as far apart as Canada and Venezuela.

    Clooney mentions someone named “John” who accompanied him to Sudan. Anyone know who that is?

    I feel like the only one in the world who isn’t licking this guy’s feet. So what if he’s “involved”? He’s got billions of dollars. With that much cash, it’s immoral NOT to help someone else. I don’t understand celebrities and the pedestal they’re placed upon. It’s not like they don’t spend an awful lot of time contemplating how this whole thing helps them out more than it helps the needy! I mean, if you were really that concerned for the welfare of those around you who have less, you’d give up such a ridiculously lavish lifestyle. No one needs multi-million mansions all over the globe. No one needs to spend thousands on one bottle of wine. Scale back. Otherwise, to me, it’s just a game of crocodile tears. Maybe it’s because I know so many people where I live that are truly helping others. And they make lifestyle sacrifices for it.

    I like when celebrities get involved but don’t go all Sean Penn on the situation. Damon has been amazing; his water campaign has really changed lives. Genocide is still a very real threat to the lives of millions and I applaud him for bringing attention to Sudan.

    Besides, owning your own satellite is pretty cool.

    “Run for office? No. I’ve slept with too many women, I’ve done too many drugs, and I’ve been to too many parties.”

    @Brooke Or maybe he just repeated himself. He wouldn’t be the first old coot to tell the same story, again and again.

    @mmf, I always wonder why people go to comments sections and then complain about comments sections. I can confess that I, personally, wouldn’t be interested in Lindsay Lohan if she spontaneously combusted in the middle of the Oscar telecast, so I solve this problem by never clicking on any links about Lindsay Lohan. I wonder if I am the only person with this unorthodox approach.

    I am never a celebrity apologist–usually I’m first to think they are full of it. Yet I don’t think of his crediting his Oscar campaign as snide, but rather honest. Like he acknowledges he’s not naturally not some super-humanitarian hippie activist man. It’s like he admits he stumbled into it and found he could care and do something. I think it rings more true with the average person who hasn’t got the money to throw at charity, or the “people” to help us folloow through, or the fame that promises “helping the cause”=”attendance at fabulous parties.”

    But it’s a holiday in this country and I’m 2 glasses of red in, so maybe I’m getting sentimental.

    It is so amazing that two people can read the same interview and come away with totally opposite opinions. Bias for or against said interviewee plays a role as does the feeling that he is dissimilar or similar to the reader.
    I don’t judge people by what they say. But how they live their life. Not how they choose to present themselves. Falsely according to how they want to appear.
    Some people are insincere with who they really are. Takes mucho work. Some people are desirous of adulation.
    I do think that he is a person that comes off ass smug and humble is most certainly not a word I would use for this man. Overrated yes. But I like that he doesn’t have kids. In a time when it is a status symbol. And he makes no excuses for liking hoes.
    Who on earth thinks he would make a good politician? I am so sick of Hollywood thinking they are smarter about life than the average Americans and that they need to educate us. Otherwise we would remain clueless. We are the salt of the earth. And life experience and reading and traveling in the real world are much more of an indicator of having a clue . Compared to people who act like they are other people thinking we look to them for life answers.I hope no one mistakes my love of gossip for anything other than that. I would never look to an actor for information. It isn’t my religion it is a pass time.

    Funny how you get fans of other celebrities dissing him because he is “copying” some other celebrity or he isn’t giving some sort of due respect to them. I can just imagine him repeating those charges to say Angie and/or Brad and them then telling him to, just ignore that noise because it is worthless and it is not what is important. I would think that many of these celebrities who donate their time, money and effort to these causes are often disappointed by the pettiness of their so-called fans.

    I, for one, really do appreciate his honesty about what he’s done and I don’t care how old the above head caption or quote may be, it’s still honest.He puts his money where his mouth is and I respect him and any other celebrity or non celebrity who does the same. Mr.Clooney has taken the situation in Sudan to heart and it’s because he has done so, he has put in a lot of time,effort, money and energy into doing what he feels needs to be done.He has sought out knowledgeable people in their respected field in the hope(s) of doing all that he feels he can do in preventing a potential war and or further horror in Sudan .He has brought it to the forefront in a way that I never thought anyone could or would and I believe it is because of his unrelenting persistence that the politicians and The White House are paying attention.So even though I may or may not agree with everything he may say or do, I for one applaud and appreciate all that he has done in making me take notice. So Mr Clooney. from the bottom of my heart, I want to say Thank you.

  42. @ Newbie: “I don’t understand celebrities and the pedestal they’re placed upon”, hmmm, well maybe get off a celebrity oogling web site then?

    Get a grip, for the love of god, what does it matter what he ‘spends on wine’ – how do you know what he and other monied celebs give to charity per annum? If the guy has had a bleedin’ satellite installed up there give him a break, it cost more than a $1000 bottle of wine I’m quite sure. Do you want him to walk in bare feet and perhaps dust his footsteps away as he walks as penance for earning? He has put his heart into this and that is what counts.

    For what it’s worth I am indifferent to George and Co, but do like people getting off their arse and actually trying to help with what they have, whether it’s a little or a lot, publicity or cash, $10 or $1000, just help.
    I simply do not understand someone moaning about a person trying to do some good. My god he’s getting precious column inches to inform the uninformed, is grafting and is putting his money where his mouth is, good on him say I!

    Ps: While I am ranting, tedious gay or straight debate when we are discussing the Sudan? Really?

    It’s so obscene to do so when you are not the beneficiary of that help but comfortable behind your computer in your peacefull country and the safety of your home whining and showing the extent of your arrogance by bitching about the helper’s motivations to help a less fortunate person than you are.

    All these instead of appreciating the value of that help (which is often a question of life or death) for that other human being.

    That behaviour in itself is “self serving” in the most despicable, arrogant and selfish way.

I could have expected that from Charlie Sheen etc. :)

    I will admit that the statement he made about having f***ed too many chicks is a little crass and a little elementary school and has many people asking “did he really say that”? He probably was trying to be either flip or funny but it fell more than a little flat.I will admit that it’s not an excuse.But let me explain why I’m not offended.I’m old and growing up this is the way guys talked and they were quite graffic about it.So when I read the caption I didn’t think twice about it.It doesn’t make it right, he should have chosen his words more carefully.For me I was just trying to point out the hard work he has put into bring attention to the Sudan and the plight of the people,that’s all.It’s a subject that I too care about and that’s why the heart felt post.

    Aqua — I’m sorry, but I gotta disagree with you –I’m probably “older” than a lot on this board, and IMO how men “talk” doesn’t make sexism ok. And any man who talks like that about women is disrespectful & class-less — I don’t care if it is in the locker room. And his statement was to a magazine, which he knew was going to be published. As Lucy & Dea said: it shows what kind of person he is. All he had to say was “I’ve had a lot of romances that have been in the public eye” and his *meaning* would have been the same (as to why he wouldn’t consider running for public office) without being demeaning & offensive to women. But, of course, his statement has proven that he sees women as nothing more than f*ck dolls for him to play with, so he wouldn’t have thought about saying it more appropriately.
    Good on him for his work in Sudan, but he’s still a class-less pig. And, furthermore, WTF with even considering him for public office — making movies doesn’t qualify one for public office & it is nice that he uses his “celebrity” for causes, but has he even gone to college? IMO we have enough dumb@sses in DC who are “out of touch” with the “normal, little people” as it is, we don’t need more.

    Ah respect, so hard to get so easy to lose. Cloons makes one flippant remark and some of you think that it defines him. What about the fact that he’s been with a lot of women and none of them have ever come out in the media and accused him of being disrespectful or abusive? Ah well, at least the anti-drug puritans haven’t jumped on their high horses…yet.

    dear george,
    re: “I f–ked too many chicks and did too many drugs,..””
    it’s not the fuckery, george, it’s the honesty. drugs didn’t hurt bush, and sex didn’t stop clinton. you’ve got to stop telling-the-truth..honestly.

    re: needing only 4 hours of sleep [via newsweek article]:
    more time to bang chicks a*n*d save the world [you've already figured this out, of course]

    He “f*cked a lot of chicks” and yet, sadly, none of them were me :(

    @spotchecker: right on! hahaha

    @Aqua: thanks, I can’t leave this blog. What would I do without HGF? hahaha
    Yes, I love the interaction here, thanks! My guy friends talk the same, then when they realize I am hanging out with them, they stop…hahaha. He probably thought it was funny to say or decided to use these words so people would stop asking him about political aspirations and would see him as a heterosexual as well. I guess it worked! The gay rumors stopped,at least in this thread…ha!

    I’m leaning towards that George didn’t say the same thing again recently, and Newsweek just recycled the old quote for their article. It’s usually the tabloids and The Daily Mail that do that sort of thing, which is why I wanted to give Newsweek the benefit of the doubt, but I’m leaning towards this was a recycled old quote. I do think “drank the bong water” is a new quote, though.

    Damn, he’s so good looking. And he’s good looking inside, although I would rather be his girl friend-I’ve noticed some sweet pics of him with female co-stars, e.g. Renee Z, etc-than his girlfriend=”female companion”. Somehow I think he still takes a break from his humanitarian interests when he’s “dating”. His goodwill may be part of his penance for his years of womanizing, but I still imagine he would not be the easiest man to please. Too much work, even for a hottie like George.

    I don’t get these movie stars who are atracted to bartenders, waitresses and hostesses. Can’t they find womne who have something more on their resume? They’re pretty but can they discuss the charity and political activities of the men that they are dating?

    I personally don’t believe he said he
    f***ed all these women. I always read that he said he dated too many women. It does’t seem he would say that to the press, unless of course he was drunk.
