George Clooney Says He’s Done with Rom-Coms: "I’m 63 Years Old"

George Clooney has stated that his age has been a major factor in his choice to stop making romantic movies.  Clooney, who is well-known for his famous parts in romantic comedies, such as his 2022 movie ‘Ticket to Paradise’ with Julia Roberts, now implies that phase of his career is over.

 Clooney recently told ‘60 Minutes’ that he no longer sees himself playing those kinds of roles at the age of sixty-three.  He clarified that he no longer considers love films to be a part of his career and is not attempting to compete with much younger leading men.

 He considered the fact that he hadn't been in a romantic comedy since 1996 while promoting ‘Ticket to Paradise’ in 2022.

The cancellation of a planned action comedy sequel to ‘Wolfs’, which starred Clooney and Brad Pitt, was another piece of professional news that saddened fans.  The first movie, which followed two skilled fixers who preferred to work alone but were forced to collaborate, was directed by Jon Watts and debuted on Apple TV+ in 2024.  Although it was plausible, the sequel has now been formally scrapped.

 According to reviews, ‘Wolfs’ was a lighthearted and delightful film that didn't ask for much from its viewers but was made fun by the chemistry between its main characters.  Clooney appears happy concentrating on ventures that better fit his current stage of life and business, even though upcoming installments have been cancelled.
