Guess what? Clooney's not just a Hollywood heartthrob

CNN-IBN

New Delhi: George Clooney is a multi-faceted man. He is an actor, director, producer, screenwriter, a man with strong political opinion and someone who doesn’t mince his words.

After Ocean’s 13, Clooney will soon be seen in a romantic comedy Leatherheads directed by the actor himself.

Says Clooney, “Acting does sort of wear you down after a while because you sort of run out of tricks. But filmmaking has really fascinated me, I really like that, so that's really where my worlds are balancing.”

And few know that Clooney is also a keen environmentalist. However, like most celebrities the actor does not believe in campaigning for climate change.

“The truth of the matter is, I don't go out and do big sales pitches on the environment, because I know that there's a weak spot that I have, which is: I will have flown there on a private jet, because I won't have the time between two gigs to get there,” says Clooney.

Clooney is currently enjoying the success of Ocean's 13 which made a number one debut at the US box office in its opening weekend.

The film opens in Japan on August 3.
