George Clooney told his wife Amal that he's done filming romantic scenes with younger actresses after hitting 60, and he's trying to follow the Paul Newman playbook of aging gracefully in Hollywood. The actor mentioned having a reality check about being 64 and realizing that even though he can still ball with guys half his age, the math gets rough when you project forward a couple of decades.
The dude built his whole career on being a leading man in romance movies with people like Michelle Pfeiffer and Julia Roberts, but he's been signaling this shift for a minute. He previously said he's not competing with 25-year-old actors anymore and wants to make space for the new generation of stars.
Clooney even shared a story about a director roasting his kissing technique early in his career, which apparently messed with his confidence since that was his actual real-life move.
