Hollywood actor and filmmaker George Clooney has sparked fresh health concerns after he suddenly cancelled various events at the Venice Film Festival.
Radar Online reported that the 64-year-old star has raised worries regarding his health, as he fell sick and missed several promotional appearances for his new film, ‘Jay Kelly’.
Health Warning and Insider View
- Sinus Infection: An insider told the outlet that the sinus infection that kept the actor from promoting his film indicated it was not just sniffles but a serious problem.
- Overloaded Schedule: The source revealed: “George has so much going on he rarely gets a night off. That schedule might have been doable at 45, but he’s not a young man anymore. He’s got to learn to take his foot off the pedal, no matter how hard that is for someone like him to do.”
- The Risk: The insider added a stark warning: “Otherwise, you start getting sick and that could lead to serious problems with a bit of bad luck.”
Expert Opinion and Recent Projects
Doctors contacted by the outlet stated that illnesses like a sinus infection are a glaring sign that the body needs rest to recuperate.
- Expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin, known for his expertise in ageing, said: “It’s a message you ignore at your peril. At his age, you need to give yourself a break or you risk more serious illness.”
The insider noted that Clooney’s schedule has been particularly intense lately. He was busy rehearsing and then performing in the Broadway show, ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’.
- Upcoming Film: After finishing the Broadway show, he was promoting his forthcoming film, ‘Jay Kelly’, which is slated to hit theatres on November 14, 2025, and then be available on Netflix on December 5.
- The insider concluded: “I don’t know how he does it. But it’s cost him a lot, physically, and emotionally and mentally.”
