{ "title": "George Clooney's Life-Changing Advice from Paul Newman: 'Don't Let Them Keep You at Home'", "article": "In a heart-to-heart conversation with The New York Times, George Clooney shared a pivotal moment from the late 1990s that taught him how to navigate fame. The actor, known for his roles in ER and Ocean's Eleven, revealed how a casual encounter with the late Paul Newman helped him understand the importance of balancing his private life with his public persona. Clooney recalled meeting Newman on the Warner Bros. lot while Newman was filming Message in a Bottle. As the two actors exchanged pleasantries, Newman, who was smoking a cigarette at the time, initially seemed unaware of Clooney's identity. However, as people driving by called out 'George!' repeatedly, Newman slowly realized the extent of Clooney's success in the industry. That's when Newman offered Clooney some sage advice: 'Don't let them keep you at home.' Clooney explained that Newman meant that tendency to isolate oneself as a way to maintain some level of privacy. The advice resonated deeply with Clooney, who had often stayed indoors to avoid attention. However, after hearing Newman's words, he made a conscious effort to strike a better balance between his personal and professional life. The influence of Newman's advice can be seen in Clooney's current projects. He is currently promoting his latest film, Jay Kelly, which is in select theaters and will stream on Netflix on December 5. The movie, which stars Emily Mortimer, Billy Crudup, and Adam Sandler, showcases Clooney's ability to navigate the highs and lows of fame while maintaining a sense of humility and gratitude. For Clooney, Newman's advice remains a valuable lesson that continues to guide him in his career and personal life. As he navigates the complexities of fame, he remains committed to staying true to himself and his values, just as Newman did before him."
