Actor George Clooney, who received an honour at Caesar Awards, took a dig at President Donald Trump in his acceptance speech, saying "as citizens of the world, we're going to have to work harder not to let hate win."
The 55-year-old star along with Jean Paul Belmondo, was felicitated with a career award, at the French film ceremony in Paris and he could not resist using the occasion to speak out against the hate and fear promulgated by Trump.
Thanking the French Academy and speaking about his fascination for French cinema, Clooney quickly switched to politics, saying, "As we stand here today, the world is going through some pretty momentous changes, not all for the best. Love Trump's hate, courage Trump's fear and always right Trump's wrongs."
