Well this is one movie that is getting a lot of steam in PR rooms all over the place. George Clooney and Renee Zellweger are hot on the promo wagon for their new movie together, ‘Leatherheads’. But it was Marie Claire who got to them first to grab some candid quips from the two actors and to shoot a rather enticing spread. George and Renee spoke candidly about who they are, and aren’t, supporting in the upcoming election. And despite the fact that George is a friend of the Clinton’s, to Marie Claire he described Hilary’s opponent as ‘the most eloquent speaker since Kennedy’. On Barack’s campaign, George has a good gut feeling, which is interesting since he is well known for never losing an Oscar’s pool. George says about Obama,

“Well, there are people who are great and will do fine, then there’s a time in your life where you go, ‘This is something spectacular.’”

And even though Renee has been known to be shy and mum with the press on and off, she wasn’t so shy about speaking up about having to work on ‘Leatherheads’ with one of today’s hottest A-listers:

“Oh, there’s a natural comfort there, absolutely. But I was terrified – I didn’t want to be the one who sucked in his movie. You’d much rather disappoint somebody you’re not going to see again.”

Can’t say I’ve ever been the biggest fan of Zellweger, but I’ve said that a lot about some of Clooney’s co-stars in the past, and I have to say, every time I see work with him and someone else, no matter who they are, I can’t help but appreciate their talent a little bit more. ‘Leatherheads’ is coming out soon, and not surprisingly, predicted to be a blockbuster. Until then, tide yourself over with this steamy spread from Marie Claire that is hitting the newsstands TODAY!
