Overview

  • Clooney says he tried cocaine in the early 1980s in Los Angeles, calling it something that “never was a big problem” for him.
  • He recounts a potent cannabis‑brownie viewing of The Wizard of Oz about 15 years ago, concluding marijuana is not his drug.
  • He describes past stretches of heavy nightly drinking yet stops short of labeling it dependence.
  • Preparing for his Broadway debut in Good Night and Good Luck, he largely stopped drinking, then got very drunk after the June 8, 2025 Tony Awards and vomited the next day.
  • While promoting Noah Baumbach’s Jay Kelly with Adam Sandler, Laura Dern and Billy Crudup, he notes a limited theatrical release on Nov. 20 before Netflix on Dec. 5 and says aging at 64 has heightened his performance anxieties.
