George Clooney has set the record straight. USA Today published an op-ed from the actor challenging a recent Daily Mail article. Citing unnamed sources, the British tabloid claimed Clooney’s future mother-in-law is opposed to his upcoming marriage to human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin on religious grounds. But why did Clooney decide to respond to this rumor in particular? The 53-year-old actor said, “The irresponsibility, in this day and age, to exploit religious differences where none exist, is at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous,” He continued, “We have family members all over the world, and the idea that someone would inflame any part of that world, for the sole reason of selling papers, should be criminal.”
