George Clooney: “I’m Getting Too Old For Acting”

George Clooney has stated that his future might be in directing and not in acting anymore.

The heart-throb was speaking at the London premiere of his new film The Monuments Men which he has also produced, directed and co-written. He told Sky News: “You have to have a fall back position when people get sick of seeing you in front of the camera. But directing is something I’ve doing for years and it’s something I enjoy.”

The Monuments Men has boasts an impressive cast comprising of Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujardin, Cate Blanchett and of course, George Clooney.

It is the fifth film Clooney has directed and tells the story of an ageing group of art curators, historians and architects who risked their lives in the final years of the Second World War to retrieve millions of sculptures and paintings stolen by the Nazis.

Among the millions stolen were works by Michaelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt and Picasso.

Nazi-looted art is still being discovered today -a stash worth around 1 billion euros was discovered in a Munich apartment in 2013.

The Monuments Men is out on February 14.
