George Clooney is one of the most well-known actors in Hollywood, starring in massively successful projects like the Ocean franchise, From Dusk Till Dawn, Up in the Air, and most famously, playing the role of Batman in the 1997 film, Batman and Robin. Quentin Tarantino, on the other side of the spectrum, is one of the most renowned filmmakers of all time, being the mind behind masterpieces like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Inglourious Basterds, and Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood.
Both of these individuals are masters at what they do, having seen the heights of fame and glory through the help of their talent. When their names are put together, many might assume that the context of this is strictly professional, however, this isn’t always the case. During an interview, Tarantino made a comparison of their looks that had Clooney confused.
Quentin Tarantino Made An Odd Comparision

He was quite close to the production aspects of the film, having been responsible for the screenplay, even though he did not direct it, which gave him quite a lot of knowledge of why certain actors were cast and certain roles.
It was revealed to him that one time, he and the director of this project, Robert Rodriguez, saw the 1995, cover of US magazine, where Clooney was named the Sexiest Man, when Rodriguez told him, that they should cast him in the film as he looks a lot like Tarantino himself. He also added that the two could play brothers, which is something that did end up happening in the movie, with Clooney playing the role of Seth Gecko and Tarantino playing the role of Richard Gecko.
George Clooney Was Extremely Confused
Well, some can see the similarities in the facial features of the two, but the majority would disagree with Robert Rodriguez’s judgment. George Clooney, himself is one of them. As seen during this interview, when Quentin Tarantino mentioned this, the actor had quite a hilarious reaction, he looked extremely confused at what he just heard.
This instance seems to have stuck as the actor recalled this instance, in an interview years after this happened. Here, he mentioned the odd look that he gave, and reinforced it, still acting, confused about what Tarantino was saying at that moment, not finding the similarities in their looks at all.
