George Clooney and President Donald Trump have an entangled past.
“I knew him very well,” Clooney recalled to Variety in December 2025. “He used to call me a lot, and he tried to help me get into a hospital once to see a back surgeon.”
According to Clooney, Trump was always “a big goofball” until entering politics in 2016. The former Celebrity Apprentice host was elected president non-consecutively in 2016 and 2024.
