[Blind Gossip] This handsome movie actor is attacking an important political figure. In an interesting twist, we hear that the timing actually has a dual purpose!
It’s hardly a secret that he hates [Presidential Candidate], but if you’re wondering why his attack comes at this particular time, it’s actually strategic. He’s had four or five [box office] bombs in a row, he knows that this one going to bomb too, and he needs something or someone to blame. Who better to blame than an entire group of people he hates?
So it sounds like he is preparing to blame the fans if they actively boycott (or just don’t go see) his movie. We don’t know if this logic holds up… but it could make for an interesting distraction from the movie’s critical reviews!

China is raping us and that is not racist to say!!! Idiots Bill Clinton and the rest negotiated those deals that put us in debt to China.
goodbuddy says
George Clooney, saying that all people who support Trump are racists. I am so sick of liberal elite fascists who live behind walls and gates telling me we need to take in millions of undocumented immigrants and that I am racist for being opposed to open borders. Why doesn’t he use one of his many 8 bedroom mansions to give shelter to some refugees, Hypocrite!

I don’t watch anything with Sean Connery since he thinks it’s OK to slap women. Told to Barbara Walters in an interview in the 80s I think. Not political, just on principle.

Yes, will not see anything with Sean Penn…not really because of his politics, but his complete lack of respect for women.

Been reading some of the responses. Quite “entertaining”! You really called out the crazies and the pettiness with this post, Ace.
Well done!!
nomasf says
Doesn’t seem like Clooney. He’s promoting the crap out of his latest movie and talks about Trump only if asked. It ses like a stretch that people won’t see the movie because they love Trump.
I don’t see Mel Gibson movies because he is anti-Semitic, homophobic, a misogynist and a hypocrite.

So many people dislike Trump, will just take a stab at a guess.
Latest one in the news for slamming him is Johnny depp. However his upcoming movie is the Alice in wondeand sequel and I just don’t see that flopping. The last one made a ton of money. So I definitely could be wrong. My alternative guess would be George clooney who is very outspoken about politics.
Pierre Latin says
The actor is George Clooney. His new movie is a political and boring movie with Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster.
Clooney is the worst of all people. Now, he blames Donald Trump and the Republicans for his 5 or 6 bombs.

Movie – Hail Caesar, If it played near where I live, it must have been gone instantly. I don’t know anyone who saw it. New movie is Money Monster but I don’t know if it’s done yet.
I disagree the politics of a lot of actors, but it hasn’t stopped me from seeing their movies if it’s a movie I really want to seen.
meowmasita says
George Clooney’s criticism of Donald Trump… possibly? Money Monster is his current movie. And I agree, Trump sucks, but I would feel that way regardless of Clooney’s opinion. And I still won’t go see his new movie.
Fortune Cookie says
George Clooney – he said he’s backing Hilary so Trump won’t be president. He should back better movie roles though, because his new one w/ Julia Roberts, “Money Monster” is reportedly a box office stinker.

Obviously hillary-loving clooney who sounds so ignorant whenever he talks politics. Just keep making crappy movies and stay in your lane. It’s sad how many people base their political opinions on what they hear from their favorite celebrities instead of actually doing their own research. (And i don’t mean reading biased nonsense like huffington post btw).
And no. I keep my political and entertainment preferences separate. Though the more discriminatory hollywood gets against republicans…

Clooney is trying to link up his film’s plot with Donald Trump, however it links up much more closely with Hillary Clinton, especially since her unapologetic son-in-law is in the news today for losing 25 million dollars worth of his clients’ investment money after persuading them to invest in Greece’s government debt and bank stock. Mezvinky’s father served time in a federal prison for fraud in a Ponzi scheme.

George Clooney. His last several movies have been flops: Tomorrowland, Monuments Men, Hail, Cesar, etc…Money Men was just in the news today as a projected flop. Politically? He’s been fundraising for HRC, he might blame conservatives & say they’re refusing to see his movies because he’s a liberal. But how he can blame that on the old bag, I have no idea.
Sometimes I am less/more inclined to see a movie because of a stars personal beliefs, but in general boycotts are lame.

Through the Looking Glass or something like that.
If they’re too vocal about politics or a cause, then I get annoyed and start to dislike the person. And yes, I might not be interested in a movie because of the celebrity but if it’s too good I get over it and watch anyway.
PoniTayl says
George Clooney no doubt.

Money Monster for the movie
HaNeull says
Johnny Depp, with the current film “Through the Looking Glass”?
The sign used in the blind is very reminiscent of the signs used in Alice in Wonderland. He’s also had a string of really unpopular movies (The Lone Ranger, Mortdecai, Dark Shadows, etc.), and Through the Looking Glass seems to be heading that way as well.

[optional] I don’t pay for Tom Cruise movies or anyone that has top billing that is a $cientologist. That’s the only stuff I actively boycott on principle.
Jinkies says
I feel the same way as you about Tom Cruise and other $cientologist celebrities. I won’t pay to see their movies or watch their TV shows and I won’t buy their music or products they hawk. I give Leah Remini a lot of credit for not only leaving that organization but for speaking our about the abuse and corruption going on, especially abuse to children, and how the cult vilifies and sets out to destroy all who dare to expose the truth about the cult.
slimfast10 says
Ever since I saw the HBO documentary going clear, and frankly even before that, I refuse to pay a nickel for anything Tom Cruise or John Travolta, does. They are very twisted people involved in a sick cult cwhich preys on damaged people all for profit. Despicable…

lagally says
Why do actors think anyone cares about their political views?
Most actors are incredibly undereducated compared to the average American. Most are high school dropouts. So many of them are actually stupid. Beyoncé is illiterate. tom Cruise can barely read. Jennifer Lawrence has 10 years of school.Sean Penn 12 years. I laugh when I see reports that Cindy Crawford is smart Chemical engineering degree. She dropped out in first month of college. George is a not aging well and has an overinflated…
Darkclouds84 says
Well, in Cindy’s defense, she did get a full scholarship to study chemical engineering after being valedictorian at her school, and she dropped out after a semester because her modelling career took off, not because she couldn’t handle the course.
Rottweiler says
I always thought the same thing. Most of them are high school dropouts, so when I see George Clooney (drop out 2nd year in high school) pontificating politics, I have to laugh.
jokerjim65 says
lagally….I am not sure if I could agree more with what you said! Very very well put, these bozos somehow think they have exalted wisdom due to being in the entertainment industry. An industry that has almost as many secrets and shady dealings as politics itself. Some, like Dexter Holland of The Offspring, are very intelligent; but, the overwhelming majority of them are infatuated with their own hubris.
Great post!
DuchessofSilly says
I agree. As a PhD of History from an Ancient University, I am vastly better educated on politics than most people. I may not like any of these politicians because I know what they are ALL about, but movie stars thinking that because they come from a political family in Kentucky (as do I Mr. Clooney) being able to toss about political views and think they are actually helping the situation when, in fact, he belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations – a highly suspect group – speaks volumes.
commonsense says
I agree with you; however there is method to this madness. People in the entertainment industry are nothing more than pushers of governmental agendas. Celebs can influence the masses in such a way, that the government can’t; which is why celebrity endorsements, even from the White House, is a huge deal.
Political understanding is not necessary to attack or endorse someone, when there’s something to promote, which is evident with clooney.
andrea02 says
This for sure.
flower says
I agree with this completely. It doesn’t help that Julia Roberts is in it. Looking at her makes me sick. Actually, they both do.
