George Clooney takes aim at Trump, says he was 'a big goofball' before politics

Clooney, 64, explained he used to be friendly with the Republican politician.

"He's a big goofball. Well, he was," the "Jay Kelly" star said. "That all changed."

Despite Clooney's criticism of Trump, the president has seen support from Hollywood A-listers throughout his second term.

"It feels like the rebirth of our nation," Kid Rock said during an appearance on "Fox & Friends Weekend" in January.

"There's just this overwhelming sense … you've heard it a million times, that America's back," the "Born Free" singer explained. Kid Rock noted Hollywood has seemed to embrace Trump as the nation's leader since his reelection in 2024.

"Now they feel it's safe to go in the water after dipping their toe in it for four to eight years," he joked. "I mean, welcome to the party, like I've said. Better to have them on board than not," he added.

Ahead of the start of his second term, Trump appointed three celebrity envoys with the purpose of promoting business in Hollywood.

"They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK - BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!"

He added, "These three very talented people will be my eyes and ears, and I will get done what they suggest. It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!"
