“I think that she’s a tremendous candidate,” George said of the new Democratic Presidential nominee in an interview with Fusion TV.
He continued: “I know her and I think the world of her and I think that I would be very happy if she was president”
When he was asked if he could consider campaigning on Hillary’s behalf, George said: “Sure, whatever she wants. In whatever way I can help.”
George, 54, was quite a vocal supporter of the last Democratic candidate and current President, Barack Obama, hosting a fundraiser for him in 2012 that brought in over $15 million.
With Hillary’s campaign advisors having set an initial fundraising target of $100 million, an endorsement from the charming movie star could prove quite a boon to the party.
George’s endorsement for Hillary comes just days after a hugely positive endorsement of his new wife, Amal, 37, whom he sheepishly admitted he was intimidated by as he first asked her out, in an interview with Access Hollywood.
George Clooney has previously supported both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in their election campaigns.
“It’s always intimidating. She’s an incredibly warm, wonderful person so it’s always intimidating. I think everyone gets intimidated,” George said of the pressure involved when asking the stunning Human Rights lawyer out.
It reportedly didn’t take long for Tomorrowland star George to realise that the stunning British beauty with the impressive C.V. was in fact “the one”.
“I think it was about three days in, I knew she was the one,” George said.
“I knew when I met her that she was super-extraordinary. I wondered if I would ever get a chance to date her. We were friends for a while and luckily she said, ‘yes’.”
Like any couple though, George admits that they don’t see eye to eye on everything.
“I watch sports, and it kills her,” George said in an interview with Extra.
“I got her into March Madness a little, I’m a huge Kentucky fan, so she got into that, but it was enough.”
Amal, who tied the knot with George in a lavish ceremony in Venice last year, attended the premiere of the dashing star’s latest flick Tomorrowland in Hollywood over the weekend. The pair played happy families with her 13-year-old lookalike niece Mia Alamuddin in tow. Amal of course looked as glamorous as ever.
George gushed about his wife even further at the premiere, going as far as to say Amal “changed everything” about his world view.
“All I know is that it sort of changed everything in terms of what I thought my future – my personal future – was going to be,” he told People magazine at the event.
“But I’ve always been an optimist about the world,” the actor, 54, continued.
“I wasn’t always completely optimistic about how it was going to work out personally for me. But now I am.”
