Clooney, who was arrested outside the Sudanese embassy in Washington D.C. in 2012 for protesting, told the paper that “most of the money I make on the [Nespresso] commercials I spend keeping a satellite over the border of North and South Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir [the former Sudanese dictator who has been accused of war crimes]”.

“Then al-Bashir puts out a statement saying that I’m spying on him and how would I like it if a camera was following me everywhere I went and I go ‘well welcome to my life Mr War Criminal’,” Clooney continued. “I want the war criminal to have the same amount of attention that I get. I think that’s fair.”
