George Clooney once turned down $35 million ($51m) to appear in an airline commercial.
The 60-year-old star was offered the eye-watering amount of cash for one day's work but his human rights lawyer wife Amal, 43, convinced him it "wasn't worth it" because it was associated with a "questionable" country.
He said: "I was offered $35 million for one day's work for an airline commercial, but I talked to Amal about it and we decided it's not worth it. It was [associated with] a country that, although it's an ally, is questionable at times, and so I thought: 'Well, if it takes a minute's sleep away from me, it's not worth it.' "
