“Batman & Robin! I learned a lot from that movie,” Clooney said. “You don’t learn from success, you learn from failure, and then you have to figure things out along the way, so it’s useful.”
It wasn’t the first time the 64-year-old actor spoke about the superhero film, which received harsh criticism and was nominated for 11 Razzie Awards, the awards that every year highlight the worst films, performances, scripts, and directions.
In 2019, Clooney admitted that the flop was important and influenced his choices in the following years: “I wasn’t good in the movie, it wasn’t a good movie,” he told The Hollywood Reporter at the time.
“What I learned from that failure was that I needed to relearn how to work. I was no longer just an actor getting a role; I was being held responsible for the film itself.”
Currently, Clooney can be seen in “Jay Kelly“, a dramedy directed by Noah Baumbach, starring him alongside Adam Sandler, Laura Dern and Billy Crudup.
