The latest Esquire Magazine profile of Hollywood superstar George Clooney might have revealed some sort of celebrity beef between the Gravity star and other big names like Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe. In this profile, it is revealed that Clooney has never made a movie with either DiCaprio or Crowe and has made that a point of his career.
"[Clooney] is the president of a club of famous people he doesn't consider assholes, and he convenes it every time he makes a movie," profiler Tom Junod writes. "He has made movies with Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Julia Roberts, and Cate Blanchett. He has never been in a movie with Leonardo DiCaprio or Russell Crowe."
So that last sentence seems like some sort of call-out, right?
The profile continues with an anecdote about a celebrity basketball match between Clooney and DiCaprio that occurred.
Clooney and DiCaprio once ran into each other in Cabo and struck up a conversation based on their common interest in basketball. They each have ongoing games, and their ongoing games have attained a celebrity of their own. Clooney suggested they might play someday. DiCaprio said sure, but felt compelled to add, "You know, we're pretty serious."
"You know, I can play," Clooney said to the profiler. "I'm not great, by any means, but I played high school basketball, and I know I can play. I also know that you don't talk shit unless you can play. And the thing about playing Leo is you have all these guys talking shit. We get there, and there's this guy, Danny A I think his name is. Danny A is this club kid from New York. And he comes up to me and says, 'We played once at Chelsea Piers. I kicked your ass.' I said, 'I've only played at Chelsea Piers once in my life and ran the table. So if we played, you didn't kick anybody's ass.' And so then we're watching them warm up, and they're doing this weave around the court, and one of the guys I play with says, 'You know we're going to kill these guys, right?' Because they can't play at all. We're all like fifty years old, and we beat them three straight: 11-0, 11-0, 11-0. And the discrepancy between their game and how they talked about their game made me think of how important it is to have someone in your life to tell you what's what. I'm not sure if Leo has someone like that."
