Hollywood actor George Clooney proved the'billion-sounding friendship' by personally revealing that the rumors that he "presented 1.1 billion dollars to 14 friends" are true.



On the 17th local time, in an interview commemorating the selection of men's magazine GQ'Icon of the Year', George Clooney said, "It is true that we gave 14 friends each one million dollars (about 1.1 billion won in our money)." I just gave the reward that deserves it.”



Earlier in 2017, George Clooney's friend and business colleague Land Gerber appeared on a broadcast on MSNBC in the United States and said, "George Clooney gave 14 friends a million dollars each," and it wasn't until three years later. George Clooney revealed that Land Gerber's words were true and detailed why and how he gave the gift.




George Clooney said, "I drove an old van to a warehouse in downtown Los Angeles, USA, filled with cash and filled a bag of $14 million, and invited my friends home. He explained the situation at the time, saying, "We handed each bag of 1 million dollars filled to 14 people."



He then

explained

the reason why he gave a million dollars to

his friends,

saying, "If

I hadn't had friends who helped me in various ways for 35 years, I would not have had anything right now

."

He said, "When I didn't have the money, I slept on the couches of my friends, and I used the money I borrowed from my friends to solve the meals. They always helped me when I needed help, and they supported me for a long time. I did.




George Clooney, who gave a huge amount of cash to his friends, is known to have paid all the taxes on the gift of cash. It is said that it is done.



This is because George Clooney didn't expect it to be a hit at the time of'Gravity', and instead of receiving a certain salary, he chose the'percentage of movie revenue'. He earned about 260 billion won in Korean Won) and was also ranked as the number one actor in the world's most profitable male film actors.
