After getting arrested this morning as part of a protest against the President of Sudan, the actor bailed himself out of a D.C. jail by forking over $100.
Overall, the Oscar winner was one of 15
people taken into custody after he refused to leave a protected area in
front of the Sudanese Embassy, as he and others - including his father,
Nick, a journalist - were trying to bring attention to a potential
genocide in the African region.
Asked by reporters about his ultra brief stint behind bars, Clooney responded:
"Listen, what we've been trying to achieve
today is we're trying to bring attention to an ongoing emergency... We
hope people understand there really is a ticking clock on this and we
need to get moving. There's been amazing progress at times. There've
been some great strides, but on the other hand, there's an awful lot
that's still going on."
Seriously, how can you not love this guy?
