I appreciate your music, George.
So, it looks like George Clooney’s thinking about switching sides of the camera on a permanent basis.
To this I say: 1) Aww, George, you’re so sweet and self-deprecating. Tired of seeing you in front of the camera? We love you for thinking of us, but really. You don’t have to worry. 2) I guess it’s not such a bad idea, if that’s what you want.
See, here’s the story: in my high-school years, my friends and I went to several concerts featuring a band who will remain nameless. The requisite Band Hottie was named Kevin, and during the concerts, the crowd would pepper the band with shouts of “We love you, Kevin!” from the audience (which now seems kind of insensitive to the other guys, but whatever. Kevin was hot). Now, whether out of a sense of propriety or or a genuine distaste for his looks (…yeah) or just a desire to be different, my group started a tradition of shouting, “We appreciate your music, Kevin!” Not just a pretty face, you know? We were waaaay ahead of our time. Trust me.
This is how I feel about George. I see that he’s attractive. I agree that he’s attractive. But mostly, I like what he does and I like the way he behaves (and I want him to give me a job, especially if it’s alongside John Krasinski. Introduce us, George?). So, although I love Ulysses Everett McGill and all further Clooney roles, I think I’d be just as happy with his directing work as I am with his acting. He’ll still be all suave and debonair on the red carpet, so it’s not like he’ll disappear completely. And that’s really all I need.
In related news, don’t forget Leatherheads! Out this weekend at a theater near you! I’ll be there (at my theater, not necessarily at yours).
George Clooney, Leatherheads, John Krasinski
