Clooney recently spoke with The Guardian about his upcoming directorial feature "The Tender Bar" and was asked whether he is satisfied with the money he's earned.

"I was offered $35m for one day’s work for an airline commercial, but I talked to Amal [his wife] about it and we decided it’s not worth it.".

George Clooney revealed that he once turned down $35 million for a single day's work on an airline ad.

Clooney and Amal, a 43-year-old human rights attorney, first married in 2014.

Clooney and his wife, Amal, decided that the airline was associated with a ‘questionable’ country, so he passed on the project.

Clooney said that when he turned 60 in May, he and Amal had a discussion about their high-profile careers.
