At first, Jim Caviezel—who is renowned for his stirring performances in movies like “The Passion of the Christ” and “Frequency”—was thrilled about the part.
Nevertheless, when he found out that George Clooney would be his co-star, his exhilaration gave way to disappointment.
Those close to the actor said that Caviezel promptly declined the offer, expressing his thoughts without holding back.
Caviezel was blunt in an open interview with a well-known entertainment publication. He said, “I have a great deal of respect for the audience and the craft.”
However, collaborating with George Clooney? He is very terrible. There isn’t another way to phrase it.
Caviezel’s comments shocked the film industry. Considering his usual cool-headedness and professionalism, his outright contempt for Clooney caught us off guard.
Reactions on social media ranged from shock to support, and they exploded. Supporters of the two stars expressed their thoughts on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, sparking a flurry of viral discussion.
