Transformative: George Clooney in (from left) ‘Solaris’, ‘Out of Sight’, ‘O Brother, Where Art Thou?’ and ‘The Descendants’
(Fox/Universal)
George Clooney has always been a man out of time. He is inherently Gen-X, a Nineties TV heartthrob who rose to fame in
ER medical scrubs, and found film success in the era’s violent indies and glossy romcoms. He’s also indisputably vintage, with an elegant if intriguingly dangerous quality akin to that of the matinee idols of early Hollywood. He’s felt just as home in Depression-era black comedies as he has the deepest recesses of space; an actor believable when playing the mundane as well as the surreal and fantastical.
