Academy Award winner George Clooney is no Donald Trump fan, but he doesn’t seem too worried about the Queens native’s presidency.

“It’s funny because he’s just a New York beast,” Clooney said during a Variety “Actors on Actors” interview with fellow Broadway star Patti LuPone. “We’ve all known him for 30 years, and he was just a guy chasing women. But whatever. It’s fine. We’re going to get through it.”

LuPone seemed less optimistic about the state of the nation than Clooney, who reminded her that 1968 saw the Vietnam War raging out of control, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy and cities being burned by rioters. He said 2025 is “not nearly as violent.”

According to the 63-year-old actor, who recently made his Broadway debut as Edward R. Murrow at the Winter Garden Theatre’s presentation of “Good Night, and Good Luck,” Trump is a “demagogue” and most concerns people have with his administration will go away when he’s no longer on the world stage.

“He’s charismatic,” Clooney conceded. “There’s no taking that away from him. He’s a television star.”

Justin Bieber’s former friend fears he’s in ‘cult’

Another person once close to Justin Bieber has offered an explanation for ongoing concerns about the pop singer’s mental health and the state of his marriage, amid the 31-year-old’s public outbursts, vulnerable social media posts, questionable Coachella behavior and recent move to “torch” a lot of his longtime friendships and business associations.

That person is Ryan Good, Bieber’s former road manager, the best man at his wedding to Hailey Bieber and the co-founder of his fashion brand, Drew House.

After Bieber announced that he had cut ties with Drew House, Good responded by voicing concerns that the singer has become part of a “cult,” according to TMZ.

This supposed “cult” is built around Bieber’s religious faith and his allegiance to pastor Judah Smith and Churchome, Smith’s celebrity-friendly Christian mega-church, with which Bieber has been associated with since at least 2010.
