George Clooney is speaking out about the recent changes in Hollywood culture.
“Just because you’re a boss, it doesn’t mean you get to s*** on people,” said the Oscar winner in a new interview with the Times. “I’ve been the boss and the guy being s*** on. You can’t get away with being a d*** any more — you’d get ratted out.”

Discussing the #MeToo movement and disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein, Clooney continued, “It’s changed in this way. On top of the terrible things Weinstein did, being a jerk at work is now not OK… I can’t imagine some producer having a casting session alone in his hotel room with a young girl anymore. It’s moving in the right direction.”
The “Tender Bar” actor also noted that there’s currently “an overcorrection, where everyone points fingers,” however, he believes “that will settle — it always does.”
