David Spade has a prediction for 2026, and it involves politically outspoken George Clooney.
During a recent episode of the Fly on the Wall podcast, co-hosts Spade and Dana Carvey discussed the news that the Oscar winner would be relocating to France with his wife, Amal, and their two children.
That’s when Spade shared his prediction that Clooney might be less vocal about U.S. politics once he moves abroad. “He gets political, which is fine, but I wonder if he will get political in France or he will keep — he did say something even the other day, after he announced this, and it feels like if he tapped out of here, he doesn’t need the stress of the politics of America anymore. You know what I mean? He got out,” he said.
“Like, you’re on the Jets, you go to the Steelers after 20 years and then you go, ‘Hey, I want to send in some plays on the Jets,’” Spade continued. “They’re like, ‘Not anymore. No, you’re over there.’”
Carvey agreed, adding, “I think he’ll probably lower his footprint and lower the temperature because he just wants to be, he wants to raise his family now.”
Last week, it was announced that Clooney and his family were granted French citizenship. He has previously praised French privacy laws that protect his family from paparazzi.
Spade also noted that he was a bit surprised that the Jay Kelly actor would settle down in France. “I would think if he’s bailing, he would go to Italy because he was in Italy for the last 20 years,” he said.
Clooney, a dedicated Democratic supporter, has become more outspoken about politics throughout his career, including the current state of affairs in the U.S. Just last week, he clapped back at Donald Trump after the president attacked him for securing French citizenship.
“Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of immigration, much like we had under Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on New Year’s Eve. “Remember when Clooney, after the now infamous debate, dumped Joe during a fundraiser, only to go onto the side of another stellar candidate, Jamala(K!), who is now fighting it out with the worst governor in the Country, including Tim Waltz, Gavin Newscum, for who is going to lead the Democrats to their future defeat. Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics.”
The actor shared in response, “I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November.”
