George Clooney isn't bothered by Donald Trump's criticism, who once called him a fake movie star.

During his appearance on the show "CBS Mornings" to promote his Broadway debut in "Good Night and Good Luck", host Gayle King asked George Clooney what he thought about Mr. Trump calling him a "fake movie star" on "Truth Social".

"I don't care," replied Clooney. "I have known Donald Trump for a long time. My job isn't to please the President of the United States. My job is to try to tell the truth when I can and when I have the opportunity."

"I am fully aware that this won't please everyone. ... People are going to criticise that. Elon Musk spoke out about me, that's his right. It's my right to say the contrary," specified George Clooney.
