George Clooney Says He’s Done With On-Screen Kissing

He cites a turning-60 conversation with Amal as the moment he chose to leave kissing scenes behind.

Overview

  • In a new Daily Mail interview reported Dec. 15, the 64-year-old said he will no longer perform kissing scenes.
  • He framed the decision as following Paul Newman by stepping away from romantic leads in later life.
  • He described the choice as age-driven, noting he does not want to compete with much younger co-stars.
  • He had previously told 60 Minutes that he no longer makes romantic movies.
  • Coverage tied the remarks to his current slate, with Jay Kelly shown at Venice and now streaming on Netflix.
