Actor and director George Clooney said he turned down $35 million to promote one country’s commercial airline because “although it’s an ally, is questionable at times”, he told the Guardian news outlet in an interview.

Clooney said, “… if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it,” without giving details of exactly which country he was referring to.

The comments sent social media users into a frenzy with many speculating if he was referencing Israel, Turkey or the UAE.
