“It took me a few weeks to improve and, as a director, it’s not that easy because you need energy.
“We were on this glacier in Finland, which made the job much more difficult. But it certainly helped with the character. “
Clooney also said that having to grow a beard for the role in The midnight sky proved less popular at home.
“He left me with a big, ugly beard and my son loved it because he hid things in it that I wouldn’t know about until I got to work and I was like, ‘Oh, there’s a lollipop stuck in my beard.’
“But my wife and daughter were very happy when it came out because it was very difficult to find a face under all that mess.”
In The midnight sky, Clooney plays a dying scientist, who is alone on a base deep in the Arctic Circle.
The film opens on Netflix on December 23, but is currently showing in select theaters in New Zealand.
