George Clooney stars in this sweet and funny movie, ‘Jay Kelly,’ which tells the story of an aging movie star.
Here’s Netflix’s official synopsis:
“The new film from Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach follows famous movie actor Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Adam Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe. Along the way, both men are forced to confront the choices they’ve made, the relationships with their loved ones, and the legacies they’ll leave behind.”
The two-time Oscar winner spoke about how playing an aging movie star in Jay Kelly symbolized a shift in his own career.
“When you’re an actor in my position, at my age, finding roles like this aren’t all that common,” he acknowledges. “If you can’t make peace with aging, then you’ve got to get out of the business and just disappear. I’m now the guy that, when I go running after a bad guy, it’s funny — it’s not suspenseful. That’s okay. I embrace all of that.”
You can catch it December 5th.
