The man, the myth, the legend! George Clooney is a cut above the rest when it comes to Hollywood greats — but his success wasn’t overnight.

The Money Monster star noted that it wasn’t until a few of his bigger movie roles came along that he started to feel like he’d made it.
“It’s really easy to pick: Batman & Robin. That’s not a joke,” Clooney told THR in June 2018 when asked to
