According to Variety magazine, the star of Michael Clayton has decided to support the screenwriters by giving an amount of $25 000 for their cause.
This amount will help the screenwriters who are in need of financial compensation since they have been out of work for the last three weeks.
Clooney, 46, stated, "To people like myself, the strike is a forced vacation, but with the rhetoric high, and two other strikes looming, there is the fear that a prolonged strike can destroy people who make a living in this industry.”
Clooney hopes that this will encourage other affluent people in cinema to do the same. He expressed, "My hope is that people who can afford it will take responsibility for this and help out. This felt like the right place, because the Actors Fund is the most inclusive. It helps writers, and everyone from craft services workers to agency assistants who have been laid off."
