Hollywood star George Clooney is a vocal critic of President Donald Trump but in a new interview the actor has spoken about Hillary Clinton and how she was "not good at communicating things".


Clooney, who had organised a fundraiser for Clinton during the 2016 elections, said while she was "incredibly qualified for the job", her speeches did not click the way they should have with the voters.


"Hillary, for years and years and years, has been the presumptive nominee, and quite honestly, she was incredibly qualified for the job," Clooney told The Daily Beast.


"But being qualified for the job does not necessarily mean you're the right person to be president. Here's what I mean. She was more qualified than even her husband was when he was elected president, but she's not as good at communicating things. That's simply true. When she got up and gave a speech, it didn't soar.


"Now, that doesn't mean that she wouldn't have done a great job as president, and I supported her because by the time we did the fundraiser the primary was over at that point and it was time to get on with picking someone to move forward, and she was the right person to side with."
