George Clooney voices hope for America's future

Los Angeles, Apr 24 (UNI) Academy Award-winning actor George Clooney remains confident that the United States will weather its political storms, expressing optimism during candid conversation with Broadway legend Patti LuPone for Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series.
Clooney, known as much for his activism as for his acting, offered a reassuring take on the country's political trajectory. Reflecting on the enduring presence of former President Donald Trump, Clooney characterised him “It is funny because he is just a New York beast and we’ve all known him for 30 years when he was just a guy chasing women,” Clooney said. “It’s fine. We’re going to get through it.”
While Clooney's hopefulness permeated the conversation, LuPone expressed a far more sobering viewpoint, aligning herself with the segment of the public mired in political fatigue. “I feel like we’ll all be fine, we’re going to get through it,” Clooney said. “We do eventually find our better angels, we have every other time and I think we will again. I’m an optimist about all of that.” “I’m so glad you are,” Lupone said after a heavy sigh. “That gives me hope”, according to a report by CNN.
