George slams Trump's former advisor

Clooney blasted Bannon while speaking to a the media at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), reported Entertainment Weekly.

"I like picking fights. I like that Breitbart News wants to have my head. I'd be ashamed 10 years from now if those weaselly little voices are getting a lot higher every week as this presidency starts to look worse and worse weren't still (after me).

"Steve Bannon is a failed f****** screenwriter, and if you've ever read (his) screenplay, it's unbelievable. Now, if he'd somehow managed miraculously to get that thing produced, he'd still be in Hollywood, still making movies and licking my a** to get me to do one of his stupid screenplays," Clooney said.

Before he became a prominent right-wing media baron and member of Trump's inner circle, Bannon worked in Hollywood as a producer and financier. He also dabbled in screenwriting, having co-written a hip-hop musical based on Shakespeare's "Coriolanus" that takes place during the 1992 LA riots.

"Hollywood is being quite well represented right now in the West Wing somehow. You know, they say I'm out of touch. You want to call me a Hollywood liberal? Come at me. I sold ladies shoes, I sold insurance door to door, I worked at an all-night liquor store, I cut tobacco for a living."

Clooney, 56, has mocked Bannon for his Hollywood background in the past as well.

The star, however, has no intentions to run for the highest office.
