Los Angeles, March 25 (NationPress) Hollywood star George Clooney believes he won't be starring in any more romantic comedies now that he is in his 60s.

Clooney is set to portray newsman Edward R. Murrow in the Broadway adaptation of his film 'Good Night, and Good Luck' and expressed that he has now reached a point in his life where he possesses the gravitas for the role.

In an interview on '60 Minutes', the 63-year-old actor remarked: "Murrow had a gravitas to him that at 42 years old I didn’t — I wasn’t able to pull off. Look, I’m 63 years old. I’m not trying to compete with 25-year-old leading men. That’s not my job. I’m not doing romantic films anymore.”

The actor from ‘From Dusk till Dawn’ feels he wouldn’t have managed a Broadway show earlier in his career, according to reports from femalefirst.co.uk.

He stated: “I don’t know that I could’ve (done it before). I wasn’t — I didn’t do the work required to get there. I mean, there isn’t a single actor alive that wouldn’t have loved to have, you know, been on Broadway. So that’s — that’s the fun of it.”

Clooney recently mentioned that he "didn't think he had much of a chance" with his now-wife Amal when they first met, given their 17-year age difference.

He shared with the New York Times: "I wasn't really in the market for being a dad. Then I met Amal and we fell in love. I have to say that, after that, everything made sense. (When we first met) I was like 'Oh my God!' Then I didn’t really think I’d have much of a chance with her because I was 17 years older and she seemed to have everything she needed."

The star discussed his age with Amal, with whom he shares twins Alexander and Ella, during his last milestone birthday.

He mentioned: "I had this conversation with Amal when I turned 60. I said, ‘Look, I can still play full-court basketball. I can still run around. I can still do pretty much everything I did when I was 30. But in 30 years, I’m 90. There are some things you’re not doing [at that age] no matter how many granola bars you eat."

The Hollywood actor added that he had to convey to his wife that he aims to "jam in" as much as possible in the coming years, even if it means reducing his work commitments.

He expressed: "I told Amal, ‘We have to focus on the next 20, 25 years of making sure that we’re jamming in everything we can. Not just work, because no one at the end of their life goes, ‘God, I wish I worked more...'
