Did George Clooney throw a “door” in Turkey? The tempting offer of 35 million euros

by

It is known that Hollywood stars get huge amounts of money for advertising. But when George Clooney revealed that he rejected such a $ 35 million offer because he did not want to associate his name with a “sometimes questionable” country, everyone rushed to make assumptions about who that country was. And many believe that this is Turkey.

“I was offered $ 35 million for a day job, for an airline commercial,” George Clooney told the Guardian. “But I talked to Amal about it and we decided it was not worth it,” he added.

As he said, this airline is connected “with a country that, although it is an ally, is sometimes questionable”. “And so I thought: Well, if it’s something that keeps me awake at night, even for a minute, it’s not worth it.”

As is well known, Amal Clooney, with whom the actor has been married since 2014, is a human rights lawyer. Among other things, he has defended Armenia in the genocide case before the European Court of Human Rights in 2016.

Thus, many assume that the airline that Clooney rejected is Turkish Airlines.

After all, this would not be the first time that Turkish Airlines would work with a Hollywood star.

In 2009, he shot a commercial with Kevin Costner.

In 2017, he signed a contract with Morgan Freeman and in 2019, he showed a commercial in the Super Bowl, based on a short film made for the company by director Ridley Scott (known for films such as “Gladiator” and “Alien”).

Of course, Turkish Airlines is not the only airline working with a Hollywood star.

The Abu Dhabi Etihad has shot a commercial with Nicole Kidman and the Dubai Emirates with Jennifer Aniston.
