George Clooney is slamming the Trump administration, after the White House criticized his acting over comments about the Iran war.
Clooney, in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, April 8, dismissed the Trump administration's "infantile name-calling" while "families are losing their loved ones" and "children have been incinerated."
"The world's economy is on a knife's edge. This is a time for vigorous debate at the highest levels," the actor, 64, told the outlet. "I'll start. A war crime is alleged 'when there is intent to physically destroy a nation,' as defined by the Genocide Convention and the Rome Statute. What is the administration's defense? [besides calling me a failed actor which I happily agree with having starred in 'Batman and Robin'?]." (The 1997 film, in which Clooney plays Bruce Wayne, is considered one of the worst films ever made.)
