George Clooney calls David O. Russell a “miserable wanker” and explains why he won’t work with him again

George Clooney is thinking about his career and has announced that he no longer wants to work with David O. Russell.

In a joint interview with Brad Pitt, the two discussed “time management” and deciding who they want to spend their time with while working.

“The older you get, the more your time management changes,” Clooney told GQ. “Five months in your life is a lot.”

Russell is not someone Clooney would want to spend five months of his life filming with.

“So it’s not just like, ‘Oh, I’m going to make a really good movie, like Holy Three Kingsand I’m going to have some miserable motherfucker like David O. Russell making my life hell. Making everyone on the crew’s life hell,'” Clooney added. “It’s not worth it. Not at this point in my life. Just to have a good product.”

Holy Three Kings is a 1999 war comedy film written and directed by O. Russell. It starred George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, Ice Cube and Spike Jonze. The film is based on a story by John Ridley about four American soldiers who commit a gold robbery during the uprising in Iraq against Saddam Hussein after the First Gulf War in 1991.

Clooney has spoken about his experiences on the film set and his feud with Russell. The situation escalated when the director allegedly got physical with an extra on the set, with The Washington Post Clooney intervened and reported that he had intervened.

In an interview with EWClooney said Russell was “an oddball and difficult to talk to,” adding, “But that’s what makes his writing so unique and interesting.”
