À propos de cet audio
George Clooney made major headlines this week after being forced to cancel multiple appearances at the Venice Film Festival due to a bad sinus infection a diagnosis confirmed to Fox News and People. Clooney, 64, missed the highly anticipated press junket and a star-studded dinner for his new film Jay Kelly where his absence was so pronounced that the event moderator had to address it publicly on stage. He was last spotted quietly boarding a water taxi with wife Amal—who stole the spotlight in a light-yellow Italian Riviera-inspired look as they arrived in Venice—retreating to the Hotel Excelsior to rest, hoping to recover in time for the red carpet. Despite optimistic remarks from festival staff, he remained notably absent from nearly all official events for Jay Kelly, including the Netflix press conference, fueling speculation across social media about his health. Director Noah Baumbach tried to keep things light with, Even movie stars get sick, but the cancellation of Clooney’s appearances remains the biggest story in Venice, especially given his tradition of showing up in style with Amal by his side.
Even with illness dominating headlines, Clooney and Amal still managed to bring old-school Hollywood glamour to Venice on the festival's opening days. Amal wowed fashion critics and fans with a vintage fuchsia Jean-Louis Scherrer gown and Clooney matched her sartorially in a classic tux on the red carpet, engaging in affectionate PDA that had social media gushing. Their love story still captivates the press eleven years after their lavish Venice wedding—a detail noted by Harper’s Bazaar and other outlets.
Outside the festival circuit, George Clooney made news for a thoughtful new interview with AARP and IndieWire, reflecting on the role of luck versus hard work in his career, and advocating for betting on yourself and living fully, while candidly admitting he failed a lot before fame. He emphasized that success is often more about timing and resilience than raw talent and warned about the dangers of fame, asserting that the real joy comes from making films, not from celebrity itself, a sentiment picked up by Geo TV and The News.
On the business front, media outlets such as IMDb and Business Insider continue to highlight his impressive $500 million fortune, amassed from acting, directing, producing, and the $1 billion sale of Casamigos tequila. Amal’s ongoing global human rights work also keeps the Clooneys at the intersection of star power and meaningful impact. Social media platforms buzzed not just with festival cancellation updates but also glowing coverage of their fashion, partnership, and enduring influence as one of Hollywood’s ultimate power couples. There are no substantiated reports of any new business ventures or public controversies in the last few days. Any rumors of behind-the-scenes drama at Venice appear unconfirmed; all verified sources attribute his absence to illness and note a near-universal hope for his swift recovery and return to the red carpet.
