George Clooney says his wealth means he has no excuses for starring in bad movies.

The Hollywood heartthrob says now he is now so comfortably well-off, it enables him to choose films for their storylines rather than how much producers are going to pay him.

He said: "When money isn't an issue, you have the obligation to make something interesting. If you're in the position I'm in - and who knows how long that will last - it doesn't have to be important, it can just be entertainment. But something that I would go and see."

Meanwhile, George has revealed he wants to star in a West End show.

The Hollywood heartthrob says he would love to do something in the theatre but wants to make sure the play is something original.

He said: "I'd love to do theatre. I've had discussions with directors, but I don't want to do something that has already been done. I want to find a new playwright who kicks ass!"
