George Clooney spoke candidly about his hatred of certain social media websites in a new interview with Esquire.

"If you're famous, I don't-for the life of me-I don't understand why any famous person would ever be on Twitter. Why on God's green earth would you be on Twitter?" he said. "Because first of all, the worst thing you can do is make yourself more available, right? Because you're going to available to everybody."

"But also Twitter. So one drunken night, you come home and you've had two too many drinks and you're watching TV and somebody pisses you off, and you go 'Ehhhh' and fight back," he added. "And you go to sleep, and you wake up in the morning and your career is over. Or you're an a-hole."

Clooney is not the only celebrity to publicly denounce the use of social media, according to Daily Mail. Actors Hugh Laurie and Steven Berkoff, as well as British Prime Minister David Cameron have all publicly denounced the use of the social media site, though all three now have accounts.

Cameron has garnered over 500,000 followers, while Laurie had over 200,000. Berkoff only had 7 at time of publication.

Clooney also spoke out in the magazine interview about how fame is actually more restricting than people think.

"There's a funny thing about fame," he said. "The truth is you run as fast as you can towards it because it is everything you want. You get there and it's shocking how immediately you become enveloped in this world that is incredibly restricting."

The issue of Esquire featuring Clooney hits newsstands Thursday, Dec. 5.

Clooney's next movie, The Monument's Men, is slated for a Feb. 7, 2014 release.
