George Clooney may be going into politics full time, according to numerous sources. The 53-year-old actor could be running for Governor of California and following in the footsteps of actors such as Arnold Schwarzengger and Ronald Reagan who also held the position.
According to the Mirror, Clooney is being considered by the Democrat party for the 2018 governorship race. Clooney is political active and has been involved in numerous campaigns for human rights in Syria and Sudan. Sources speaking to the paper said Clooney’s support.
The importance of the Governorship of California cannot be underestimated owing to its prominence as a mostly Democrat state, especially as Hollywood tends to chime in to lend their support. A source, also speaking to the tabloid said, California “has always been a huge stronghold for the party and one that has a proven record for getting politicians in to the Oval office.”
Clooney can even boast President Barack Obama as a friend as he supported the president elect in the 2012 election race. Clooney and fiancé Amal Alamuddin were recently invited to the White House as guests of the president for a screening of Monuments Men which Clooney stars in.
