Actor George Clooney compared entertainment studio Paramount to a “mom-and-pop” shop after a massive entertainment merger will see the company swept up in an $8 billion sale.
Clooney was asked in a recent GQ interview if he was invested in the outcome of the sale, given its history and the fact that it means there is one less studio hiring actors.
‘It’s all getting eaten up by big Walmarts and Amazons around the world.’
