The actor has already spoken frankly (and more than once) about the difficulty of being directed by David O. Russell.
George Clooney He is one of those actors who have many works to be proud of on their resume. The actor and producer is known for titles such as “Ocean’s Eleven” (2001), “Severity”, “The Mysterious Man” AND “Love without ceasing”but there’s one film in particular he’d like to forget, and not for good reasons: “Three Kings”.
In an interview with American magazine GQ in August this year, the star spoke about the important points he considers when saying yes to a project, and said he is not willing to “submit himself to hellish situations” during the months of shots. In his statement he cited the months spent with the director as an example David O. Russell during the filming of “Three Kings”saying it’s something he would never repeat today.
“The older you get, the availability of time changes. Five months of your life is a long time. So, it’s not just ‘Oh, I’ll make a really good movie,’ like ‘Three Kings,’ and I’ll have a damn wretch like David O. Russell that will make my life hell. It’s not worth it, not at this point in life, just to have a good product.

In “Three Kings”, which also stars Mark Wahlberg and Ice Cube, we follow the end of the first Gulf War, as four American soldiers try to steal gold during the conflict. Arguments between Clooney and Russell have been documented since the 1999 production.
On previous occasions, Clooney had even stated that the director “yelled at people all day”, and reports suggest that, at one point, the actor had to restrain the director during an argument with an extra.
Additionally, the actor told Playboy that Russell publicly humiliated the driver of a camera rig, made a script supervisor cry, pushed and kicked an extra, and threw a studio assistant’s walkie-talkie. direction.
“He grabbed me by the throat and I went crazy,” Clooney recalled in 2000. He continued: “Waldo, my friend, one of the guys, grabbed me around the waist to make me let go. I would kill him.”
But Clooney isn’t the only actor to have made public statements about the difficulty of working with David O. Russell. Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Robert De Niro, Michael Shannon and Amy Adams also said unpleasant things about the director. Reports claim that the filming of several titles, from “Joy – The name of success” THE “Amsterdam”they were upset and had several unexpected events. The reports, constant and similar, have always been denied by the director.
With all this chaos behind the scenes, “Three Kings” is available to stream on Max.
