Hollywood star George Clooney, who made his directorial debut with 2002’s Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, has ‘more fun’ being behind the camera than in front of it. Clooney is back in the director’s chair for sports drama The Boys in the Boat.

He said, “It’s more fun, you have a lot more control. I get to boss them around and I don’t have to learn how to row. It’s fun to come in in the morning and it’s fun to write a screenplay, and then have somebody build a set that you wrote, it really is.”

Clooney said he was fortunate to get to do the things he loved so late in his career. He said: “As you get older, you need to have other things to do. You can’t just do one thing. I’m lucky because I’m 62 and I get to do the stuff I love, and a lot of people don’t get that.” However, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t still enjoy acting. He said: “I still like acting. I have fun,” before he quipped, “I just did a film with Brad Pitt, he’s an up-and-coming actor.” Clooney and Pitt (60) are starring in Jon Watts’ psychological action-thriller Wolfs, which hits cinemas in September.
