George Clooney, 65, Signals Step Back, Plans Select Work and ‘Ocean’s 14’ Return

He is rebalancing toward philanthropy over pursuit of new fame.

Overview

  • Clooney, who turns 65 on May 6, said he will stop chasing his career and focus on work he finds more meaningful, telling Page Six he plans to slow down.
  • He said he will devote more time to the Clooney Foundation for Justice and support the Roybal School of Film and Television to open paths for underrepresented students.
  • He is not retiring, with industry reports saying a new Ocean’s film is slated to shoot this summer and will bring him back as Danny Ocean.
  • He and Amal Clooney now hold French citizenship and live part‑time in France, which he praises for privacy rules that keep photographers away from children at school.
