In a lively interview with his close friend Brad Pitt for GQ, George Clooney spoke candidly while promoting their upcoming action comedy “Wolfs.”

Pitt, at 60, made some pointed comments during the interview, which focused on their impressive Hollywood careers. However, Clooney, who is 63, took the lead with sharp critiques, particularly targeting his “Three Kings” director David O. Russell. He also discussed his annoyance with Quentin Tarantino, his co-star from “From Dusk Till Dawn.”

While the two actors jokingly debated who sported the best ’80s mullet, Clooney emerged as the more dominant voice in the discussion.

Here’s a closer look at Clooney’s remarks and our take on his bold statements.

Clooney Expresses Irritation Over Tarantino’s Comments

Tarantino is an exceptional director, but during the interview, Pitt mentioned that Tarantino was “good” when acting alongside Clooney as siblings in the 1996 film “From Dusk Till Dawn,” directed by Robert Rodriguez.

“He was okay in it,” Clooney remarked, subtly critiquing the performance. Clooney expressed frustration over comments made by Tarantino in a recent interview.

“He was listing off movie stars and talking about (Pitt) and someone else, and then the interviewer asked, ‘What about George?’ (Tarantino) replied, ‘He’s not a movie star.’ Then he literally said something like, ‘Tell me a movie since the millennium.’ I was like, ‘Since the millennium? That’s my entire (expletive) career.’ ”

Pitt found Clooney’s tirade amusing as he continued to express his irritation with colorful language regarding Tarantino’s remarks.

It’s clear Tarantino should have expected some backlash; Clooney doesn’t take insults lightly. The two may likely resolve their differences over a drink soon.

Clooney Labels ‘Three Kings’ Director David O. Russell as ‘Miserable’

When discussing his film choices as he enters his 60s, Clooney did not hold back on his feelings towards Russell, his director for “Three Kings.”

Clooney emphasized that dedicating five months of his life to work with a “miserable (expletive) like David O. Russell” just isn’t worth it anymore. “Making every crew member’s life miserable,” he elaborated. “At this point in my life, it’s simply not worth it.”

His remarks underline a desire to value time, especially at this stage in his career.

Clooney and Pitt Debate Their ’80s Mullet Styles

The interview took a lighter turn when Clooney and Pitt discussed who sported the better mullet hairstyle in the ’80s.

As Pitt reflected on “dumb things” from their past, the conversation turned to their mutual questionable hairstyles. Pitt boldly claimed to have “one of the greatest mullets that ever existed,” a statement that puzzled Clooney.

“Are you talking about my mullet or your mullet?” Clooney asked.

“I’ll say mine,” Pitt replied confidently.

“Yeah, I might say mine too,” Clooney retorted.

Hey, Mr. Clooney, just embrace that glorious mullet!
