...from you." Actors have done a lot of damage to candidates lately. My father ran for Congress in 2004, and it was "Hollywood vs. the Heartland!" My father was Hollywood. PITT: I'm just hungry for some honesty and leadership. And I'm following them all-on all sides. DAMON: I'm an Obama guy too. I think a lot of the problems in the world would be mitigated if he were the face of our country. I haven't ever met him or talked to him, but he's the first person in a long time...
...movie star at one point or another. Are we really running out of movie stars, and is that, like, a problem? CLOONEY: The last real movie stars were probably Redford and Newman. And things were different then. There wasn't this amazing amount of magazines and information about them. DAMON: We didn't know anything about them. CLOONEY: There was mystique. They're 60 feet high, and you paid your buck and a half to go see them. But that's gone. People know everything about everybody now. PITT: Jaws came along and proved you could make huge money with...

Brad Pitt!" and they're gone. DAMON: You described it once as "People were stepping on our faces trying to get to Brad." PITT: Ah, well, I don't take it as a compliment...
What other leading men do you like? CLOONEY: I like Clive Owen a lot. Did you see Children of Men? DAMON: That was my favorite movie last year. CLOONEY: Me too. DAMON: One of the most underrated actors right now as a leading man is Christian Bale. He turned in two great performances last year. He was great in The Prestige, and he was great in this movie called Harsh Times. BARKIN: I like the very young Ryan Gosling. CLOONEY: That couple-he goes out with Rachel McAdams ... BARKIN: Splitsville. Don't you read Us? CLOONEY: Well, those were...
