George Clooney has denounced Donald Trump as a "xenophobic fascist" and forecast that American voters will reject his "crazy" campaign for president in November.
The star used a quote widely attributed to Winston Churchill in predicting the frontrunner's eventual electoral defeat.
"You can count on Americans to do the right
thing after they've exhausted all the other possibilities," he said.
Of Trump's political beliefs, he said: "He's just an opportunist. Now he's a fascist; a xenophobic fascist."
Clooney told the Guardian he supported Hillary Clinton's bid for the presidency, although he heaped praise on the campaign of her rival, Bernie Sanders, whom he said had raised topics often ignored in US politics, like income inequality.
