George Clooney Reveals Why He Has No Plans To Run For Office

George Clooney has been politically active throughout his career but has no plans to run for office in the future.

The "Money Monster" star, 60, ruled out having a second career in politics during his interview on BBC's "The Andrew Marr Show," while promoting his upcoming film "The Tender Bar."

"No, because I actually would like to have a nice life," the Oscar winner said when asked if he would ever consider political office.

Clooney told host Andrew Marr, "I turned 60 this year, and I had a conversation with my wife [Amal Clooney], and we were working a lot, as we both do, and I said, 'We have to think of these as the halcyon years.' If we have our health, which we do … and I'm 60 and I can still play basketball and still do the things I love, but in 20 years I will be 80, and that's a real number."

"[It] doesn't matter how much you work out, what you eat. You're 80," he continued. "And so I said, 'We have to make sure we enjoy and live these years in the best possible way.'"

Clooney also shut down rumors that he's eyeing a run for the presidency back in 2015, when he was promoting his film, "Our Brand Is Crisis," a campaign satire about the role American political consultants played in the 2002 Bolivian election.

"I've been asked that for almost 20 years now and the answer is just, no. Who would ever want to live like that?" he was quoted as saying by The Daily Beast during a press conference in Beverly Hills at the time.

Clooney described a politician's life as "hell" and said he only had "interest in being involved from the outside and trying to get things done that are important to me."

The Hollywood star is currently focusing on his career and his family. In April, he told Entertainment Tonight that he feels "happy and blessed" in his marriage to Amal Clooney, whom he wed back in 2014, and the family they share.

During the premiere of his new movie "The Tender Bar" in Los Angeles earlier this month, Clooney and his human rights lawyer wife spoke about how they manage to balance their careers with raising 4-year-old twins Ella and Alexander. According to Amal, she felt lucky to have a "very supportive partner" in Clooney.

Amal also told ET that her husband has been a "great" teacher to their kids. As for what exactly Clooney has been teaching Ella and Alexander, his lawyer wife joked, "He's mainly teaching pranks for the time being. But we'll see if it develops."

"Well, I think those can really pay off over time," Clooney chimed in.

"The Tender Bar," which is directed by Clooney and stars Ben Affleck, Tye Sheridan, Lily Rabe and Christopher Lloyd, hits select theaters on Dec. 17 and Amazon Prime Video on Jan. 7.
