George Clooney shared a surprising message to Donald Trump during his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York City on Tuesday night.
The Hollywood actor, 63, who was on the show promoting his Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck, wasn’t afraid to share his Democratic views as spoke candidly about politics.
After sharing he was ‘raised a Democrat in Kentucky’ George, who endorsed Kamala Harris in last year’s presidential election, was asked by the host what he thought of the results of the recent election.
He joked: ‘Well I don’t know, what am I supposed to do? Storm the f***ing Capitol?’ referencing the January 6 2021 insurrection, prompting applause from the crowd.
He continued: ‘It didn’t work out and that’s what happens. It is part of democracy. And there are people that agree and people that disagree and most of us still like each other and we are all going to get through it.’
He also added an unexpected direct message to Trump, without saying his name: ‘Good for you. I hope you do well because our country needs it, and we will meet you in three and a half years and see where we go next.’

The actor, seemingly trying to relate to everyday life, then went on the share a story about his seven-year-old son Alexander.
‘I have a son who plays in chess tournaments, loves chess. He’s seven years old and he’s playing against a lot of older kids and he is not winning all the time, as you can imagine,’ George added.
‘He gets upset, and I say, “Listen, shake the guy’s hand, you say good game, I’ll get you next time. And that’s kind of how… you’ve got to live by those rules,’ George said.
Colbert knocked on his wood desk, as George said, ‘What?’ and Colbert replied, ‘That there’ll be another (election),” referring to Trump’s comments from July 2024 while campaigning for Christian conservatives.
George was later snapped leaving the show as he cut a dapper figure in a navy suit which he teamed with an open collar black shirt and shiny shoes.
The Ticket to Paradise star wore his grey locks pushed over to one side and wrapped up in a black scarf.
George was spotted chatting and posing for photos with fans as he made his way to his waiting car.
It comes after George drew Trump’s ire with an op-ed earlier last year in which he begged Joe Biden – then still a candidate – to drop out of the race to give Democrats a fighting chance to keep the White House.

George, who in June last year raised $30million at a fundraiser for Biden’s 2024 campaign, is largely credited as being the nail in the coffin to Biden dropping his re-election bid.
Back in early July – just over a month before the 2024 Democratic National Convention – Clooney penned a New York Times op-ed entitled, ‘I Love Joe Biden, But We Need a New Nominee,’ weeks after Biden’s troubling performance in the June Presidential debate.
‘I love Joe Biden. As a senator. As a vice president and as president. I consider him a friend, and I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. In the last four years, he’s won many of the battles he’s faced,’ Clooney said in the op-ed, just weeks after he hosted a fund-raiser for Biden himself.
‘But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time. None of us can. It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fund-raiser was not the Joe “big F-ing deal” Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020. He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate,’ Clooney opined.
He also plainly stated, ‘We are not going to win in November with this president. On top of that, we won’t win the House, and we’re going to lose the Senate.’
The actor went on to share a story about his seven-year-old son Alexander, which ultimately served as a message to Trump, coming less than a year after he was instrumental in getting President Joe Biden to step down for Kamala Harris
‘This isn’t only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and Congress member and governor who I’ve spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly,’ Clooney continued.
The actor thought removing Biden from the ticket would, ‘enliven our party’ and ‘wake up voters’ who had ‘checked out’ even before the debate.
The op-ed was just part of a growing chorus among Democrats for Biden to step down, which he ultimately did just 11 days later on July 21, officially endorsing his Vice-President Kamala Harris to run in his stead.
Harris and running mate Tim Walz ultimately lost to Donald Trump and JD Vance by an overwhelming margin in the Electoral College (312 to 226) but by just 1.5% in the popular vote (49.8% – 77.3 million votes to 48.3% – 75.01 million votes).
