GEORGE CLOONEY - CLOONEY HATES SHOUTERS

Heart-throb GEORGE CLOONEY picks his movie projects according to whether the directors are "yellers".

The actor hates working with tyrants who think they can shout at crew members and treat everyone behind the scenes badly.

He says, "In the two films I've done with the COENS (brothers ETHAN and JOEL) and the four or five projects I've worked on with STEVEN (SODERBERGH), I have never once seen or heard an angry voice raised.

"Steven and I have this life-is-too-short thing. Somebody will say, 'Hey, so-and-so wants to do a movie with you.' If we know he's a yeller, we're like, 'Life's too short. Not going to do it.'"

Clooney had a famous altercation with THREE KINGS director DAVID O RUSSELL after he humiliated staff on the movie.

The actor recalls, "(He was) yelling and screaming at crew members, who weren't allowed to defend themselves."
