George Clooney confesses he regrets shooting this movie
The actor starred in 'Batman & Robin' in 1997, one of the most criticized versions
George Clooney has admitted that he doesn't think he is fit to play any superhero. The actor, who has been at the DGA Theater in New York at the screening of The Tender Car, his next project on the big screen, has acknowledged that one of the films he most regrets doing is Batman and Robin, a film in which he starred with Chris O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstone.
"I made a superhero movie and I screwed up so much that they wouldn't let me go near a set again and put on a cape," said the interpreter in People, adding that when Ben Afleck put himself in the shoes of the bat man he advised him also that the chest of his suit did not have marked nipples because it was horrible. "I do not want to get into all the roles of this type," he added, making it clear that in his work, what he knows how to do or defend is the type of projects with which he grew up during the 60s and 70s, films that represent the stellar moment of North American cinematography and that they were based on the script and on the story.
The truth is that it is not the first time that the actor denies this film. He so hates having performed it that he has forbidden his wife, Amal Clooney, or his children, to wear it. In fact, at the beginning of October George Clooney assured that he would prefer that none of them decide to watch it because negative comments from him could affect him. "There are certain films where I just say, 'I want my wife to have a little respect for me and not watch it.' Plus, it's bad when your four-year-old says, 'This is very bad.' That could be painful for me. ", assured the interpreter in Variety.
But it is not the only thing that the interpreter of The Descendants or Syriana has expressed about Batman and Robin. The also American director, producer and screenwriter said in 2019 that this film marked the rest of his career and helped him make subsequent decisions. "I was not good at playing a superhero and it was not a good movie. What I knew about that failure was that I had to relearn how I was working. I was no longer just an actor getting a role, I was held responsible for the entire film in yes, "he commented on The Hollywood reporter, adding that that's why later he chose to do Three Kings, Three Kings, A Very Dangerous Romance and Oh Brother!
On the occasion of the premiere of The Tender Bar, which will be on Amazon Prime on January 7, George and Amal reappeared together after more than two years without attending a premiere due to the pandemic. That is why the couple, who live in the United Kingdom with their children, the four-year-old twins Ella and Alexander, traveled to the United States a few days ago to attend the premiere held in Los Angeles. There both showed their complicity and even the actor was aware of a small mishap that his wife had with the dress and heels.
