George Clooney has given his full support to the anti-Trump speech that Hollywood actress Meryl Streep gave during the Golden Globes. Donald Trump's tweet of calling Meryl “overrated” was rebuked by the actor. He talked about the issue at a reception that was being hosted by The Clooney Foundation for Justice, which was in support of the Netflix documentary, “White Helmets.” The documentary is based on the lives of the rescue volunteers in Syria. Amal Clooney, George Clooney’s wife, was also present clad in a floral dress.

At the Golden Globes, Meryl Streep criticised Donald’s trump’s imitation of a disabled reporter. Trump tweeted on social media saying that Streep is “one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood.”

When Clooney was asked about Trump’s tweet at the reception, he replied, “I didn’t vote for him, I don’t support him, I don’t think he’s the right choice.”

“The Ocean’s Eleven” star further added, “At this moment in our lives we have to hope that he doesn’t destroy everything. The reality is you have to hope he will do a decent job because if the United States fails, really terrible things happen, so you have to hope that he can.”

Amal Clooney was also present at the event along with her husband. She was wearing a floral dress that she teamed up with a textured tights and black boots. In October 2015, Amal was seen wearing the same dress on a date night with her husband.

George Clonney also talked about the importance of films like “White Helmets.” “The filmmakers, they are the brave ones, they are the ones who are doing all the work and are the heroes. So if I can help them out at all so people know about it, then that’s a good use of celebrity I think,” said the actor at the reception.

It will be interesting to find out whether Donald Trump reacts to George Clooney’s comment about him. As Clooney supports Meryl Streep for her Golden Globes speech, it becomes clear that he is not afraid to speak his mind.
