The Hollywood actor is a prominent donor to the Democratic Party in the United States. In recent years, that has regularly led to criticism from President Trump, who has called him a “second-rate movie star,” among other things. According to Clooney, it didn’t bother him much. “It’s not my job to keep the President of the United States happy.”
The rich and famous will live their lives in a bubble no matter where they reside. And Clooney is still going to hear about Trump’s criticisms no matter where he lives.
I’m a regular guy who saved up for years while studying another language and gtfo of the US. It’s an option.
I did that too and I got tired of it and came back and now it looks like the country’s fucked. Thanks a lot guys
If you did it once, you can do it again. Nowhere is perfect, though. If I had it to do over, I’d probably pick one of the Nordics instead of Japan.
congrats man. welcome 2 the club.
Wtf is wrong with these comments. Is lemmy full of hate bots now aswell?
Trump has won twice, and you still blame “bots”.
It’s people. Just people.
God i know but i want them to be bots.
Océan’s Onze
ITT: people not realizing his wife was born in Lebanon. Are they safer than your average non-pure-white family? Absolutely. But they have legitimate reasons to be scared.
Also apparently she’s a human rights lawyer so she’s bound to have pissed off republicans one way or another already.
I lived in France for two years and he’s absolutely right.
Lemmy in a fucking nutshell: Fuck these rich people!
Also lemmy, missed the entire fucking point.
Having more money than you could spend in your lifetime buys you options not available to most people, news at 11.
i got out with less than 20k.
A rich man and wife feel safer in France than in the US. I don’t necessarily care how safe the ultra-wealthy feel in any country
If a rich man and his wife feel safer outside the United States, that’s saying something. And you completely missed the whole theme under discussion.
What exactly is it saying? I understand his wife is a lebanese, but how are they materially any less safe in the US than they are in France? This really just sounds like wealthy liberals changing country clubs. I’ve only ever been to France as a tourist but they didn’t seem any less prejudice there.
I think Clooney might be specific about paparazzi pressure here. You don’t really see the same level of harassment from this kind of press in France. I don’t know.
Its kinda funny someone with the name ocean is shitting on george clooney.
Wow, I didn’t realize making a movie gave you rights over the entire concept of the ocean
Only if you’re George Clooney.
Must be nice.
And they still let him in after that Louvre heist?!
Ocean’s 14 is about to be authentic as fuck
Where were you when they were shooting “The Night Of” ?
This is the best comment.
Cuz you’re rich, dummy.
So glad to hear that his unimaginably privileged kids will be better off in France. I think they would probably do pretty damn well just about anywhere. Hell, I’d move to France too if I could do so in a financially sustainable way (spoiler, I don’t think I could).
I think that’s the point. They could be anywhere and they choose not USA.
The American dream is now to escape America.
It must be a confusing time for Russian dissidants that just got here 👀
I heard you were dead
I got better
It’s harder than you think to renounce American citizenship.
You don’t have to and it’s not clear whether or not Clooney did.
It really isn’t. https://www.usa.gov/renounce-lose-citizenship
If you’re brown, they’ll do it for you
