George Clooney won't stand for Quentin Tarantino's shady comments! As we're sure you know, the actor and director don't have the greatest history. In the past, Quentin has absolutely bashed George, suggesting back in 2024 that he isn't nearly the movie star like his golden boy Brad Pitt is. At the time, the 64-year-old actor didn't put up with it, saying it was just some "s**t" that "irritated" him. And now he's doing the same for Paul Dano, Matthew Lillard, and Owen Wilson. We previously reported how back in December the 62-year-old filmmaker got mouthy again - this time at the expense at some of the world's most beloved stars! He called Paul the "weakest f**king actor" in the Screen Actors Guild, while also adding he doesn't "care" for Owen and Matthew. Ouch! Matthew even responded saying it "f**king sucked" because you wouldn't say that to an A-lister like Tom Cruise... Poor guy. But now they've got George on their side!

He told Variety at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards over the weekend: "By the way, Paul Dano and Owen Wilson and Matthew Lillard, I would be honored to work with those actors. Honored." Aww! He went on to say his latest movie Jay Kelly is "made by people who love actors - that's an important part": "People I've known most of my life ... actually, most of them are actors. I have a great affinity [for them], and I don't enjoy watching people be cruel. We are living in a time of cruelty. We don't need to be adding to it." Speak on it! If there's one person who isn't going to let Quentin get away with saying whatever he wants, it's George! It's great to see him standing up for his fellow actors. Reactions, Perezcious readers?
