George Clooney commented on Orbán’s Hungary again
According to the actor, it will be much more difficult for the Hungarian leader to justify his system in the future.
George Clooney addressed Viktor Orbán once again, Népszava noticed on Süddeutsche Zeitung.
You might remember that a few weeks ago Clooney associated hatred and anger with PM Viktor Orbán and his leadership in an interview. The statement kicked up dust and the leading politicians of the ruling Fidesz party reacted quite vehemently. For instance, Justice Minister Judit Varga invited the actor for a coffee so that she can enlighten him about the “real situation”.
Although the movie star says there is a lot of hatred and division in the world, on January 20, with Joe Biden coming to power, a lot will change. Thus, it will be much more difficult for the Hungarian leader to justify his system. According to the current position Clooney predicts that PM Orbán will remain Hungary’s first man for the rest of his life, but it will not be easy for him to speak in an authoritarian voice when the president in the White House is not someone who declares the press the enemy of the people.
So from that point on, Orbán cannot claim that the US is doing the same as he is.
The actor made the statement while promoting his new film, The Midnight Sky, in which he plays a scientist. The world has just been hit by a disaster, humanity is extinct and a specialist working in the North Pole wants to prevent an expedition from returning from outer space.
For that matter, George Clooney is not the only one having such associations….

Clooney is so so dim, he does not realize that the people of Hungary elected Mr. Orban for a reason. Cooney should focus on a 150,000 homeless in California. Leftist, socialist Clooney helped to ruin his own country with buying votes for Marxist candidates. His record is nothing to be brag about, and hid uneducated rhetoric should be ignored..
Clooney does not mention the problems created by communists dictatorships that enslave several countries. One wonders why.
I gree with you having Lived in America 75 years, but I was born in Hungary, and understand what lies beneath and answer to the question WHY>
I hope you will be able to read this comment
I wold recommend that you read editorial “Elation turns to sorrow back home in rootless Hungary” Google it. Also, google” Freedom Love Gold” trailer, film documentary. Link: Trailer link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKm3iHjtbXE
Also would love to talk to you about movie of the film.. I’m on facebook.
George Clooney needs to “stay in his lane”. He may not know what that lane is but it is certainty not to pass judgement on Hungary, its elected government and its policy of putting Hungary and Hungarians first. Now if he wanted to come to Hungary to promote and movie, sign autographs , and make appearances in that regard … that is more his “lane”.
George, George, George.
Surely your up-coming movie can’t be THAT much of a disaster that you have to try promoting it by – yet again – mixing Hollywood with international politics.
Ronald Regan attempted that course of action but then he was way out of your league.
Perhaps you would be better to stick with advertising second-rate instant coffee.
He may be a good actor, but he is not a good person! He should keep his nose out of politics he knows nothing about!
This government is full of thiefs. And Orban is authoritarian. These are facts. You all are talking about Hungarian people elected Orban for a reason, and talking about matters that has nothing to do with the subject. Communism? For that matter what about fascism? Or… you get the point. Back to the subject: Orban first (second, 2010) was elected as a promising option. But unfortunately he turned out to be a scam. Changed all the rules (and still changing every time he feels his reign is in danger) that could give chance to contenders. Managed to control the majority of the media. Of these the two most important part is the regional printed media and the national television. Hungary has an aging population who is struggle to navigate the modern era’s news streams so they rely heavily on those two mediums (plus radio which is also controlled by him). So in the nutshell this is how Orban is elected again and again. This is called authoritative. So… Clooney is quite right.
Got a bit of blood boiling – this article.
Take a “retirement” holiday on Lake Como, Italy ” second rate actor that is George Clooney.
Make the occasional “fresh” but with an ageing face line advertisement, for that “bland” instant coffee that Clooney is the face of.
You are no Ronald Regan – don’t have the “curriculum vitae” to fill his shoes, and best you stay completely away from expressing your Political Ideas and Philosophies – as you are dangerously wrong and inaccurate in what you express.
unfortunately he is right. maybe Orbán is elected by the people – like Putin or Kim Jong Un – but his main target is keeping power and most money from Hungary’s budget ,and steal as much from the country’s wealth as possible – no matter it’s power plants, banks or various strategic companies..
Clooney – is he a Soros – “Rebel Rouser ” stooge ???
It’s better to say nothing and be thought of as a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt. George should keep his mouth closed
In “The Men Who Stare at Goats”, George Clooney, accompanied by fellow goat starer Jeff Bridges, takes off in a Blackhawk helicopter in the end,both totally screwed out of their minds, high on LSD, disappearing into the great blue yonder never to be seen again…Me thinks, its time for Georgy-Porgy to redo his disappearing act again. ASAP!
Clooney is bether to keep quiet because you have no idea what are you saing you live in Holwood in an artificial paradis .
George Clooney has lots of money and some talent but no integrity.
It must be painful for him that he does not have enough smarts to accomplish a mere fraction of what the Hungarian Prime Minister has been able to accomplish.
