Megyn Kelly Delivers 11-Minute Rant About George Clooney After He Blasts Her for Not Being a Journalist: ‘Are Hollywood Roles Getting a Little Hard to Come by as You Age?”
George Clooney recently stuck up for himself against Megyn Kelly, but the former Fox News anchor did not take his criticism lightly.
During Clooney’s appearance alongside Patti LuPone on Variety‘s Broadway Actors on Actors, LuPone noted that Clooney has been labeled “a communist” and “a fascist” for his political activism over the years. Clooney, for his part, made no apologies about speaking “truth to power,” adding that “I didn’t give up my constitutional rights when I became an actor.”
“I don’t care much in terms of what they say,” Clooney said. “You see Megyn Kelly, who’s come out and said I’m not a journalist. I didn’t say I was a journalist.”
LuPone interjected: “Neither is she. ”
He continued, “I’ve at least been to Darfur and Sudan and the Congo and been shot at to try to get stories out. I’m not quite sure what she’s done to be a journalist.”
Clooney is currently starring on Broadway as famed journalist Edward R. Murrow in “Good Night, and Good Luck.” At the end of the play, adapted from the actor-director’s 2005 movie of the same name, there’s a montage that features real-life news clips with Kelly, Elon Musk and more.
“ We don’t tell people what to think when we show that montage at the end,” Clooney said. “We only show her words in this play. We don’t tell people what to think. It’s not out of context. We don’t manipulate it. We literally just go, ‘These are your words.’”
