Zack Sharf Digital News Director George Clooney participated in a joint cover story for GQ magazine along with his longtime friend and co-star Brad Pitt ahead of the release of their new film “Wolfs,” and he got quite candid when discussing the state of movie stars in Hollywood.

Clooney playfully fired back at Quentin Tarantino, who directed Pitt to an Oscar in “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” and allegedly shaded Clooney recently by claiming that he is not still a movie star.

Clooney and Tarantino shared the screen together in 1996’s “From Dusk Till Dawn.” “Quentin said some shit about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him,” Clooney said. “He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about [Brad], and somebody else, and then this guy goes, ‘Well, what about George?’ He goes, he’s not a movie star.

And then he literally said something like, ‘Name me a movie since the millennium.’ And I was like, ‘Since the millennium? That’s kind of my whole fucking career.'” “So now I’m like, all right, dude, fuck off.
