Clooney Clarifies Crowe Commercial Comment

Last week, actor Russell Crowe struck out against George Clooney, Robert DiNiro and Harrison Ford who have used their fame to sell products in commercials. Crowe crowed, “It’s kind of sacrilegious, a contradiction of the contract with your audience. DeNiro advertising American Express — gee whiz.” This week, Clooney shot back at Crowe saying, jokingly, referring to Crowe’s band, 30 Odd Foot of Grunts, “I’m glad he set us straight. Because Harrison, Bob and I were putting a band together called Grunting for 30 Feet, and that would also fall under the heading of ‘bad use of celebrity.’ Thanks for the heads up.” Glad we’ve cleared that mess up.
