George Clooney woos Obama for Hollywood movie
Famous actor and producer George Clooney has dropped the biggest hint yet that American President Barack Obama may feature in a Hollywood movie when he leaves office.
Clooney in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America said he had the chance to propose the idea to the President at a fundraiser, but the President who was obviously busy didn’t give any feedback until recently.

“This guy is so charismatic, he just outshines everybody onscreen” admits George Clooney about his favourite president ever. “If you think this guy has charisma, wait till you meet him in real, it’s like he has a giant magnetic aura around him. He just emits this burst of electric energy; it’s something I’ve never seen anywhere else. This guy was meant to be a movie star, whether he had been a president or not,” Clooney acknowledged laughingly.
Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has also given the hint about Barack Obama’s interest in taking up a role as an actor in the not-too-distant future. “I have insider sources very close to the President and his family that concur about his interest in a Hollywood post-career” explained the famous video blogger in a recent video on his Youtube channel.
Barack Hussein Obama who has taken acting classes in his college years has not acknowledged publicly his interest in hitting the Hollywood big screen after his second mandate.
