Shock claim: George "backlists" Margot Robbie!

I guess this tabloid magazine got bored of inventing tragedies for the Clooneys' marriage and has come up with a completely new 'shock' that they can 'exclusively' 'reveal'.

Shock claim: George "backlists" Margot!

He’s vowed to never work with her AGAIN - by New Idea

Since she said goodbye to Ramsay Street, former Neighbours star Margot Robbie has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood – from Will Smith in Focus to Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street.
But one A-lister she won’t be making movie magic with anytime soon is George Clooney.

New Idea hears the actor, 59, was eyeing up Margot, 30, for a string of upcoming films, but recently did a U-turn on his admiration for the Aussie beauty and has blacklisted her from all future projects.

“It’s not Margot’s fault ... it’s who she hangs out with that’s the problem,” tells our exclusive insider.
Margot is set to star alongside Christian Bale in a new comedy for Silver Linings Playbook director David O. Russell.

However, her signing “pretty much slams the door on George having any association with her in the future”, adds the insider.

Rumour has it Margot won’t be making movie magic with George Clooney (pictured).

“She’s gone into the same blacklist pile as Mark Wahlberg.”

George famously cut ties with Mark after he refused to take his side following a fight with David on the set of Three Kings back in 1999.

“It was pretty vicious but George and David have been public enemies number one ever since – and anyone associated with David is banned from George’s circle,” adds the insider.

As for Margot, sources say she was incredibly excited when George and his team expressed interest in working with her and didn’t understand why everything suddenly went quiet.

“Now she knows. Through no fault of her own, a silly on-set fight that happened when she was eight years old has cut her out of one of Hollywood’s most prestigious inner circles.

“She’s not going to let it worry her, though – this movie with David and Christian could earn her enough gongs to have her own prestigious inner circle!” the source adds.

Did George 'famously' cut ties with Mark Wahlberg?  I don't remember any of this.  He starred with him in The Perfect Storm, the year after Three Kings.

While George and David O Russel aren't besties, I bet it'd be easy to find actors who've worked with both, despite the (entirely imaginary, I suspect) blacklist.

I think I also read somewhere that he said he and David O Russel have settled their "feud".

They did publicly kiss and make up that same year, but who knows if they really meant it?

I doubt that they're anything remotely like friends, but I can't see George blacklisting anyone just because they worked with Russell. He knows people have to take work where they find it. He did it himself for a long time.

Exactly.

Not saying that he can't be a bit of an arsehole when the mood takes him (viz, the quote about Charlton Heston and alzheimer's disease), but he's not vindictive like that.
