George Clooney's kids don't care about his success (and that's a good thing)

Oscar-winning actor, director and producer George Clooney may be one of Hollywood's most recognizable stars — but that doesn't mean his kids are impressed with him.

"My son went to Halloween this year dressed as Batman, which is a character I played — famously the worst Batman in the history of the franchise," Clooney says. "And I literally said to him, 'You know, I was Batman,' and he was like, 'Yeah, not really.'"

Clooney found success in Hollywood in his 30s, late enough, he says, that he learned how to live before he learned how to be famous. His character in the new Netflix film, Jay Kelly , wasn't so lucky. Clooney plays a self-absorbed, emotionally stunted movie star stumbling through midlife, unable to connect with the people who need him most.
