Clooney stirred up controversy for remarks he made about Charlton Heston at a 2003 National Board of Review event. "Charlton Heston announced again today that he is suffering from Alzheimer's." (Heston had publicly announced his diagnosis the previous year.[42])
When asked if he went too far with his remarks, Clooney responded, "I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association; he deserves whatever anyone says about him." [43]
Heston himself commented, "It just goes to show that sometimes class does skip a generation," referring to Clooney's late aunt, Rosemary Clooney. [44]
Heston further commented on the Clooney "joke": "I don't know the man — never met him, never even spoken to him, but I feel sorry for George Clooney — one day he may get Alzheimer's disease. I served my country in World War II. I survived that — I guess I can survive some bad words from this fellow".[45]
Clooney said he subsequently apologized to Heston in a letter, and that he received a positive response from Heston's wife.[5]
At least he finally apologized.
With the above as an exception, I generally like Clooney.
i actually met Rosemanry Clooney...my middle school choir performed with her at Westbury Music Fair...so it's totally plausible that i WILL blow him....
