George Clooney on Jerry Weintraub: “Applaud His Great Accomplishments”

Share

George Clooney made three movies with Jerry Weintraub, all hits. Plus Weintraub got behind his Save Darfur efforts and started a charity called Not On Out Watch.
Clooney says:

“In the coming days there will be tributes, about our friend Jerry Weintraub. We’ll laugh at his great stories, and applaud his accomplishments. And in the years to come the stories and accomplishments will get better with age, just as Jerry would have wanted it. But not today. Today our friend died. To his family and friends, Amal and I send our love. And to those who didn’t know him we send our deepest sympathy. You would have loved him.” — George Clooney
