George Clooney Shares When Frank Sinatra Yelled at Him
George Clooney recently recounted an interesting encounter with legendary singer Frank Sinatra during the premiere of his new film, *Jay Kelly*, in Los Angeles. This film also stars prominent actors Adam Sandler and is scheduled for release on November 14.
George Clooney’s Experience with Frank Sinatra
Before becoming a Hollywood star, Clooney had a unique role as a driver for his aunt, the late Rosemary Clooney, who was an accomplished singer. His connection to her allowed him to transport notable figures, including Tony Bennett, while gaining insight into success and failure.
In a recent conversation, Clooney shared an anecdote about a conflict with Sinatra. He explained, “I remember he was mad at me once because I led this boycott about some press freedoms. He called me, concerned because there were helicopters flying over his home.” Sinatra expressed his discontent, stating, “It’s not working what you’re doing!” This interaction, although challenging, left a lasting impression on Clooney, who remarked, “I got yelled at by Frank Sinatra!”
