Time has not healed the wounds between George Clooney and David O. Russell.
The Oscar-winning actor, 63, called the filmmaker, 65, 'a miserable f***' in a joint interview with his Wolfs costar Brad Pitt published Tuesday in GQ.
After Pitt, 60, made a reference to time allocation, Clooney expounded on the concept when it comes to working with people he wants to, about 25 years after he and the mercurial filmmaker Russell clashed on the set of the 1999 war film Three Kings
The Lexington, Kentucky native said, 'The older you get, time allotment is very different. Five months out of your life is a lot.'
Clooney said that he's more discerning about who he works with, even if it means sacrificing a worthwhile endeavor, saying that 'it’s not worth it' at this point in his life 'just to have a good product.'
Said Clooney: 'And so it’s not just like, "Oh, I’m going to go do a really good film, like Three Kings, and I’m going to have a miserable f*** like David O. Russell making my life hell. Making every person in the crew’s life hell."'
Clooney played the starring role of Archie Gates in Three Kings, which arrived in theaters in October of 1999. The motion picture, derived from John Ridley's story, also featured Ice Cube, Mark Wahlberg, Spike Jonze, Nora Dunn and Cliff Curtis.
Clooney detailed his clash with Russell in a 2000 interview with Playboy, calling production on the motion 'truly, without exception, the worst experience of my life.'
