In just over six months,

George Clooney

will be in his sixties.

But the actor in

The Big Scam

is, back, more active than ever.

Clooney's career has had its ups and downs.

And when it seemed that the star was beginning to fade, more than anything because of perhaps not entirely correct decisions, he is again on everyone's lips, with two films in which he plays the role of director, one that Netflix will premiere in December (and for which he could flirt with the Hollywood Academy again) and another that is a project on track: adapting

Calico Joe

(2012), the best-selling novel John Grisham, and in which he will have Bob Dylan as a co-producer.

Regardless of demands when signing a contract - it is said that for his small role in

Gravedad

, by Alfonso Cuarón, he asked to build a basketball court and a jacuzzi next to his motorhome, the place where the actors rest between takes. and take-.

Clooney does not skimp on his fortune to help those in need.

For example, on October 30, The Mill will reopen, a theater very close to the mansion that the interpreter has with his wife, Amal Alamuddin, in Berkshire, Great Britain.

Opened in 1982, the "little theater" even has a restaurant, it had closed when the pandemic began and the Clooneys put up 11.5 million pounds (about 15 million dollars) to prevent its disappearance.

Clooney has no problem opening his wallet and donating to causes he deems just.

Before the Covid-19 said present - in addition to aid to the theater, he donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the actors' union, to the Lebanon Food Bank, to Lombardy (another of his mansions his Villa Oleandra, three floors, is in front of Lago di Como) and even the National Health Service of the United Kingdom-, commits and commits others like

Matt Damon

, to help different institutions, such as The Red Cross or Unicef.

And after the explosion in Beirut, in August, the couple (Ameal is Lebanese) donated $ 100,000 to various charities.

Clooney is passionate about basketball (he's a Dallas Mavericks fan) and baseball.

What's more: he is a frustrated player, since when he was young he wanted to prove himself professionally, he did not pass the first round of selection.

Well, with

Calico he

will have a kind of revenge.

The novel by the author of

The Signature

and

The Pelican Report

is slightly inspired by real events, and is about a young baseball promise who falls into a coma after being hit by a ball.

Since

The Money Master

(2016), opposite

Julia Roberts

and directed by

Jodie Foster,

the winner of two Oscars did not act in cinema (he did appear in 3 episodes of the

Catch-22

series

last year).

And as director, in addition to two chapters of the war

Catch-22

, the above had been two failures:

Suburbicon: Welcome to Paradise

(2017) and the hideous

Operation Monument

(2014).

But what happened to Clooney's life all this time?

He focused with his lawyer wife on two issues: humanitarian work, and raising their twins Ella and Alexander, who are now 3 years old.

Midnight Sky

(

The Midnight Sky

) is based on a science fiction story of Lily Brooks-Dalton.

Clooney, who produced, starred and directed the film, plays Augustine, a scientist who in a post-apocalyptic future finds himself isolated in the Arctic, and tries to contact the crew of the ship Aeher ... so they do not return to Earth.

Felicity Jones

, Sophie Rundle (the

Peaky Blinders

series

) and David Oyelowo (

Selma

) and Kyle Chandler

(Manchester by the Sea

,

Bloodline

) co-star.

The question is whether Clooney will get back on track as a director on films like

State Secrets

,

Good Night, and good luck.

, and the crazy - but less crazy than

Suburbicon

-,

Confessions of a dangerous mind

.

Hopefully.
