George Clooney tells Quentin Tarantino to ‘f— off’ after career diss

George Clooney said Quentin Tarantino can “f— off” after the director supposedly questioned the Oscar winner’s status among Hollywood leading men.

Clooney and his “Hollywood BFF” Brad Pitt did a joint interview with British GQ in which the 63-year-old actor dropped the F-bomb on the filmmaker who directed him in the 1996 film “From Dusk Till Dawn.”

“Quentin said some s–t about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him,” Clooney confessed.

He claimed that Tarantino did an interview in which he named Pitt and another actor as true movie stars, but questioned Clooney’s credentials “since the millennium.”

“So now I’m like, all right, dude, f— off,” Clooney said. “I don’t mind giving him s–t. He gave me s–t.”

When or where Tarantino may have made those comments isn’t clear. Clooney won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the 2005 film “Syriana.” He received acting nominations for “Michael Clayton” in 2008, “Up in the Air” in 2010 and “The Descendants” in 2012.

Clooney also acted alongside Tarantino in “From Dusk Till Dawn,” where Tarantino was just “OK” in front of the camera, he said.

Pitt’s chuckles throughout the often jocular interview hinted that perhaps Clooney’s tough words should be taken with a grain of salt.

During a 2022 interview with GQ, Tarantino named Pitt, 60, as one of Hollywood’s all-time great leading men.

“He suggests an older-style movie star,” Tarantino said at the time. “It’s just a different breed of man.”

Clooney and Pitt did their joint interview at Château Miraval, the winery at the center of long-running and heated litigation between Pitt and his Academy Award winning ex-wife, Angelina Jolie.
