George Clooney opened up about one of his most iconic roles
George Clooney is one of the highest-paid actors in the film industry, to his credit he reaps a long list of successes, not only as a protagonist but also as a director and producer.
The 62-year-old heartthrob gained great popularity when he played Dr. Doug Ross in the ER series, Emergencies, in which he participated between 1994 and 2008, and to which he returned with an appearance in 2011. Without a doubt, that production opened the doors to the world of cinema from which he never left.
One of George Clooney's most remembered roles was that of Batman, and on more than one occasion he defined himself as the best Batman in history. However, he admitted that he regrets playing it.
Recently, while talking about the success of The Great Swindle (Ocean's Eleven) with director Steven Soderbergh, he confided that many actors refused to be part of that film, and when telling a little more about it, he referred to that personal aspect of his life and his history as an actor.
“Some very famous people told us to go F-- ourselves. Mark Wahlberg, Johnny Depp. There were others. Now they regret it. I regret having played the F-- Batman, ”he confessed during his time at the Classic Film Festival.
This is not the first time that George Clooney has referenced Batman and Robin, the film in which he starred alongside Chris O'Donnell and Alicia Silverstone. Some time ago, in dialogue with People, he assured: "I made a superhero movie and I screwed it up so much that they would not let me go back to a set and put on a cape."
Another shocking fact about this is that the actor has forbidden her wife, Amal Clooney, and her children to see her and that he considers that if they criticize him they could hurt him. Clooney defines his role as Batman as a failure: "I was not good at playing a superhero and it was not a good movie. What I learned from 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 itself”.
