George Clooney and Patti LuPone Get Honest About Broadway Pay, Surviving the Trump Era and Elon Musk: ‘Isn’t He Destroying the Government?’


George Clooney and Patti LuPone break down their Broadway shows and criticize Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

And Clooney, despite being one of the most famous people on the planet, seems equally starstruck by LuPone, leaving her wiping away tears as he shares memories of seeing her “blow the doors off” the theater with her musical performances (she returned to Broadway this season as a pot dealer in the comedy “The Roommate”). Even though their conversation overflows with compliments and funny anecdotes, Clooney and LuPone also share grave concerns about the future of democracy, as well as a firm belief in the power of art to illuminate the darkest times. Clooney: When I wrote the film with Grant [Heslov] 20 years ago, I was being called a traitor to my country, because I was against the war in Iraq.
