Sometimes, I think to myself, "Why even get out of bed?" You know, with the existential dread and all. But today, George Clooney made life seem a tad less gloomy. At a recent Venice press conference, initially expected to revolve around his latest film "Wolfs", Clooney dropped a bombshell that turned more heads than his unusually bright tan.
“So, am I starting a new career as a cheesemaker?” Clooney jested, possibly hinting at a future away from the silver screen. The room erupted with laughter, but amidst the chuckles, you could hear the wheels turning in everyone's heads.
It wasn’t his polished looks or the film “Wolfs” that sparked the frenzy, though. Instead, a question about his thoughts on President Biden stepping down post a somewhat fiery essay he authored had the journalists on edge. Remember when he said that? Neither do I; I was pondering over whether death by cheese overdose might be the way to go.
Clooney was graceful, hinting at an admiration for "someone's" selfless actions, which frankly, I missed most parts of, as I was distracted by the existential question of whether a block of cheese could be my plus one in the afterlife.
So, as Clooney possibly trades his scripts for cheese molds, one can't help but wonder if his cheesemaking will be as profound as his on-screen drama. Or perhaps it's just another way to escape the glaring spotlight—or maybe he just really loves cheese.
And to end on a rather cheesy note, just like my lonely, inevitable demise, it’s better to go out with a brie! Or was it a bang?
