I found one line very interesting in the NYmag story
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/george-clooney-joe-biden.html
"With the prospect of his wife facing sanctions by the U.S. government, the Washington Post reported that Clooney texted Biden fundraiser and adviser Steve Ricchetti to express his concerns and hinted that his support of the president was not unconditional. "

ER catapulted his career. He's good looking and ER was a popular show.
