In a series of unabridged tirades, Hunter Biden, son of the former U.S. President, launched an onslaught of profanity-laden vitriol against acclaimed actor George Clooney. Hunter, aged 55, seemed irked by Clooney’s tacit influence over the former President’s flagging political career ahead of the 2024 race, an influence that appears shockingly misplaced given his Hollywood credentials.
Hunter expressed his disdain for Clooney’s audacious foray into political agendas quite candidly. ‘I cherish George Clooney’s cinematic contributions’, Hunter stated, ‘but his opinion in the matters of the Democratic Party’s nomination hardly holds significance for me.’ It appeared that Hunter was shrewdly trying to undermine his father’s increasing detachment from realpolitik by leaning on a somewhat controversial figure in Clooney.
Hunter’s resentment towards Clooney was further fuelled by a past incident of alleged dismissal of his father by the actor. Behind-the-scenes interactions at a prior event revealed Clooney’s perceived indifference towards the presidential figure, engaging solely with ex-President Obama. Hunter alleges that the actor’s behavior was brusque and he hastily exited the setting within a span of five minutes, ignoring the remaining attendees.
An escalation in Hunter’s criticism of Clooney was evident in another instance where an expletive-ridden diatribe accused the Ocean’s 11 star of attempting to undermine his father’s electoral prospects. Moreover, Hunter was outraged by the perceived patronage provided by President Obama and his associates to the actor’s vexing endeavor.
Hunter’s rising frustrations exploded when the discussion turned to Clooney’s notorious op-ed published in The New York Times following his father’s much-criticized debate proceedings. The op-ed urged Joe Biden to resign from his position within the Democratic nomination, an audacious suggestion coming from a Hollywood stalwart instead of a political expert.
The aforementioned op-ed seemed to have ignited an alarming response from Hunter, who accused Clooney of disseminating unfounded claims about his father’s cognitive abilities. Interestingly, Hunter added that Clooney was good pals with Obama, insinuating that Obama’s team had encouraged the actor’s disparaging narrative.
The culmination of these circumstances transpired when Joe Biden officially withdrew from the race on July 21, 2024. His political void was promptly filled by Kamala Harris whose qualifications for stepping up to such a position have yet to be demonstratively established.
Clooney, on his part, has tried to justify his intrusion into politics by saying that writing the op-ed was his ‘civic duty.’ However, one might argue that this so-called ‘duty’ was rather an overreach from his primary responsibility, being a responsible member of Hollywood’s glitterati society.
The actor again delved into the political sphere during an interview with Patti LuPone in April. He seemed to give an unwarranted comment on President Trump’s charisma, saying, ‘He’s charismatic. There’s no taking that away from him. He’s a television star. But eventually, we’ll find our better angels. We have every other time.’ His justifications can come across as fundamentally flawed and misleading given his undoubted bias.
Earlier this year, Clooney’s relatively quiet family life was thrown into sharp relief as persistent inquiries about their prospective stance under President Trump’s regime surfaced. Amal Clooney, George’s wife, came under the scanner given her significant legal affiliations both in the UK and the U.S.
Amal, an international human rights lawyer with Lebanese roots, was reportedly involved in providing legal counsel in a contentious war crimes case against Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant from Israel over the military engagement in Gaza. This was viewed as potentially controversial given the sensitive geopolitical implications involved.
An executive order was declared that criticized the court for ‘illegitimate and baseless actions’ against the U.S. and Israel. The order threatened potential penalties including the freezing of assets and restriction of entry into U.S. territories. This ambiguous situation might have further strained the already complex dynamics surrounding George Clooney’s public image.
Clooney and Amal entered marital bliss in April 2014, tying the knot in a romantic ceremony in Venice, Italy a few months following their engagement. As a unit, they made additions to their family in 2017, with the birth of their twins, Alexander and Ella.
As Clooney continues to stir political debates with his uninvited comments and overreaching ‘duties’, it remains to be seen whether his actions will serve as an unnecessary distraction or actually contribute to the broader political narrative. The series of events provide an intriguing case study into the questionable cross-pollination between Hollywood celebrities and political authority.
