George Clooney lashed out at a reporter at a Venice Film Festival press
conference at the weekend (01Sep07) after the critic poked fun at his new
European coffee ads.
Clooney was in Italy promoting his new film Michael Clayton when one
brave journalist asked the actor how he could defend his decision to star
in new TV ads for multinational company Nestle.
The movie star addressed the reporter, stating he did not have to
explain his decisions, telling the journalist the question
"irritated" him.
Clooney growled, "I'm not going to apologize to you for trying to
make a living every once in a while. I find that an irritating
question."
