George Clooney is offering fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend an evening with him, all for a good cause. 

The 63-year-old actor is auctioning off a private dinner through Charitybuzz to raise funds for the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which fights against human rights abuses around the world. 

The winning bidder, along with a guest, will join Clooney for cocktails and an intimate dinner in New York City on September 24, with a chance to take photos and participate in a Q&A session.

The dinner will support the foundation’s initiatives, including TrialWatch, Waging Justice for Women, and The Docket, all aimed at protecting the most vulnerable. 

Amid this charitable endeavor, Clooney recently made headlines for his candid remarks about Quentin Tarantino. 

In a GQ interview, Clooney expressed irritation at the director’s dismissive comments about his movie star status. 

"Quentin said some s–t about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him," Clooney said, referencing Tarantino’s claim that he hasn’t had a hit since the millennium. 

Clooney responded, "Since the millennium? That’s kind of my whole f—ing career."

Despite the exchange, Clooney acknowledged the importance of working with great directors and emphasized that a good screenplay is key to making a successful film.

Clooney’s career includes starring in the beloved "Ocean’s" trilogy and winning an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in "Syriana." 

The upcoming charity dinner offers a rare opportunity to discuss his illustrious career and recent comments with the man himself.
