According to the British tabloid newspaper the Daily Mirror, friends of the 53-year-old blockbuster movie star claim that Clooney is being wooed by Democrats hoping he’ll launch a long-speculated political career, with their sights set on the 2018 governor’s race. If Clooney agrees, he would likely start planning out the next steps after his September marriage to British human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin...Outside of Hollywood, Clooney is also known for his activism. He was arrested for civil disobedience outside of the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, DC, back in 2012, after groups gathered to protest Sudan’s president Omar al-Bashir for blocking aid and provoking a humanitarian crisis. He was detained for a few hours and released after paying a $100 fine. Whether or not Clooney actually runs for any office remains to be seen, however. In 2012, he was asked about potentially running for president, but quickly shot the idea down.
