6. Enough room under the bus for George?
Fri Mar 4, 2016, 11:01 PM
Mar 2016

George Clooney opens the door of the Berlin hotel lounge and shakes hands like an ambassador. “Come on in,” says this paragon of modern Hollywood: a proper, old-fashioned movie star; a producer and occasionally director of interesting, intelligent films; and a furrowed-brow liberal political activist of not inconsiderable achievement. Who else would spend the morning after the premiere of his new film, the Coen brothers’ Hail, Caesar!, confabbing with Angela Merkel about the international refugee crisis? He should be running for president, surely?

Clooney chuckles indulgently. “I am a Hillary supporter. I am doing a fundraiser for her.”
