Joe Biden’s son is losing his mind. He’s made headlines recently, but for all the wrong reasons.
And this Hollywood celebrity has been stunned speechless over what Hunter Biden said about them.
Hunter Biden vs. George Clooney: A Feud Ignites
Hunter Biden, the 55-year-old son of former President Joe Biden, has unleashed an assault on Hollywood star George Clooney, accusing the 64-year-old actor of betraying his father and derailing his 2024 presidential campaign. The heated conflict, blending personal grudges with political fallout, has erupted into public view through Hunter’s recent appearance on a podcast.
“I love George Clooney’s movies, but I don’t really give a s— what he thinks about who should be the nominee for the Democratic Party,” Hunter declared on the At Our Table podcast. He didn’t hold back, adding, “I was about to say I really like George Clooney as an actor, but the truth of the matter is, the truth is, I’ll be honest, I really don’t like George Clooney as an actor or as a person.”
The bad blood traces back to an event before the 2024 election, where Hunter claims Clooney acted cold and aloof. “George Clooney, before that event … literally threatened to pull out of the event — how many times? Five, six times? Over and over again, saying that he was so upset because my dad refused to recognize the arrest warrant for Netanyahu,” Hunter said, referring to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
He alleged Clooney showed up, stayed for just five minutes, spoke only to former President Barack Obama, and snubbed everyone else. “Literally, I was whispering in [Biden’s] ear saying, ‘Dad, f— him.’ … You got to be kidding me because I was so mad,” Hunter recalled. He further claimed Clooney arrogantly suggested President Biden didn’t even know who he was.
Clooney has stayed silent on Hunter’s attacks, but the president’s son kept the heat on during an appearance on the Channel 5 podcast with Andrew Callaghan. In an hours-long tirade, Hunter accused Clooney of sabotaging his father’s re-election with the “blessing” of Obama and his allies.
“F— him! F— him and f— everybody around him,” Hunter fumed. “I don’t have to be f—ing nice. No. 1, I agree with Quentin Tarantino. George Clooney is not a f—ing actor. He is a f—ing, I don’t know what he is. He’s a brand.”
The spark for Hunter’s fury was Clooney’s New York Times op-ed, published soon after Joe Biden’s shaky 2024 debate performance. In it, Clooney called for Biden to step aside as the Democratic nominee. “It’s devastating to say it, but the Joe Biden I was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the Joe ‘big f—ing deal’ Biden of 2010. He wasn’t even the Joe Biden of 2020,” Clooney wrote. “He was the same man we all witnessed at the debate.”
Hunter slammed the actor for spreading what he described as false claims about his father’s mental sharpness. “Why do I have to f—ing listen to you?” he demanded. “What do you have to do with f—ing anything?… What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his f—ing life to the service of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full-page ad in the f—ing New York Times to undermine the president?”
Biden withdrew from the race on July 21, 2024, making way for Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Hunter insisted Clooney’s op-ed was a calculated move, backed by the “blessing of the Obama team.”
Clooney, a self-proclaimed Democrat from Kentucky, defended his op-ed in an April 2025 CNN interview with Jake Tapper, calling it his “civic duty.” “When I saw people on my side of the street not telling the truth, I thought that was time to … some people [are mad], sure. That’s OK, you know. Listen, the idea of freedom of speech is you can’t demand freedom of speech and then say, ‘But don’t say bad things about me,’” he said.
In February 2025, on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Clooney reflected on Harris’s loss to Donald Trump. “I was raised a Democrat in Kentucky … and you know I’ve lost a lot of elections. … You know, this is democracy and this is how it works,” he stated.
“It didn’t work out. That’s what happens. It’s part of democracy. … And, you know, there’s people that agree and people who disagree, and most of us still like each other. We’re all gonna get through it.”
Clooney’s optimism carried into an April 2025 Variety interview with Patti LuPone, where he acknowledged Trump’s charisma but remained hopeful. “He’s charismatic. There’s no taking that away from him. He’s a television star. But eventually we’ll find our better angels. We have every other time,” he explained.
“If you’re a Democrat, we have to find some people to represent us better, who have a sense of humor and who have a sense of purpose. I think we’ll get the House back in a year and a half, and I think that’ll be a check and balance on power.”
The feud has also cast a spotlight on Clooney’s personal life, particularly his wife, Amal Clooney, a human rights lawyer born in Lebanon and raised in the U.K. Amal, who holds legal credentials in both the U.S. and Britain, reportedly advised on a war crimes case against Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, per the Financial Times.
This has sparked questions about the Clooneys’ future in the U.S. under Trump’s administration, especially after a Trump executive order criticized the International Criminal Court for targeting U.S. and Israeli personnel, threatening measures like asset freezes and U.S. entry bans for ICC officials and their families.
