George Clooney raises fresh concerns about dementia and ageing

George Clooney has recently confessed he struggles to remember his movie dialogues nowadays.

The actor ignites dementia fears after he realises he’s having issues with lines while promoting his new movie, Jay Kelly.

After his revelation, some of George’s friends express concerns for his health but his struggles with memory have initiated “whispers” within the entertainment industry.

One source close to the Jay Kelly production told Radar Online, “People are concerned because he's talking more openly about forgetting lines.”

“It raises questions about whether this is just ageing – or something more serious,” said an insider.

Another source opened up that some people are saying “dementia is one of George's biggest fears as he has always prided himself on looking smart and being one of the smartest people in the room”.

Interestingly, George talked about director Noah Baumbach’s surprise montage in his new movie.

“It was really fascinating, because you go through all the things we all go through, which is you watch yourself age, which you have to make peace with,” explained an insider.

The source noted, “You also look at some horrible mullets. And you have to kind of get through all that. And you do get this thing of, 'God, that was just yesterday, wasn't it?’”

“George has always been razor-sharp, but he's been talking on set about how fast things slip away now. It scared people,” pointed out an insider.

However, the source added, “Nobody wants to think of George ageing like the rest of us.”
