To the Guardian, he first recounted how he once met Trump and that the billionaire referred to him as a "short" man.

"And I was like, 'I was sitting down the whole time, Donald,'" Clooney said, referring to their Larry King cable show meeting and wondering how Trump could have possibly gleaned his true height.

Clooney then called out Trump as a xenophobe – and worse.

"He's just an opportunist," Clooney said, the Daily Caller reported. "Now he's a fascist, a xenophobic fascist. You can count on Americans to do the right thing after they've exhausted all the other possibilities."

Clooney elaborated: Trump won't become president, he said.

"Let's put things into perspective," he said, the news outlet reported. "You know, the truth of the matter is, in election season, things go crazy and the loudest voices are the furthest and most extreme. So you hear a massively stupid idea, like we're going to ban Muslims from the country. Now, we're not ever going to do that. It says in the Statue of Liberty, bring us your huddled masses. It's not going to happen."
