14 Shocking Facts From The Sony Leak

3. George Clooney Loses Sleep Over The Monuments Men's Bad Reviews

If you ever thought that an actor as charming and likeable as George Clooney must have thick skin to survive in the limelight like he does, think again. As reviews emerged for his new movie The Monument Men at the start of the year, Clooney expressed his anxiety in several e-mails to Amy Pascal, at first stating, "I need some protection from all the reviews. Let€™s just make it a hit. I haven€™t slept in 30 hours. And it€™s 7 am". Pascal responded that the best revenge would be to make tons of money from the movie, to which Clooney followed up with "I fear I€™ve let you all down. Not my intention. I apologize. I€™ve just lost touch€ Who knew? Sorry. I won€™t do it again." It's an eye-opening series of e-mails which no doubt paints Clooney in a sympathetic light, showing vulnerability and regret many likely didn't expect he'd have about a mediocre movie he made.
