George Clooney gets frustrated by people who film their experiences on their phones.

The actor was left dumbfounded when he met President Barack Obama and watched everyone else who shook the leader’s hand film their meeting on a smart device.

Clooney said: “I was at an event with the president a few years ago and everyone was shaking hands with their phones filming him. They can’t say they met the president, they can only say they filmed him.

“You see the concerts too and people are losing a little bit of their living and their life because they are just filming the concert rather than enjoying it. I would hope we would become a little bit less in love with technology. Bring back face-to-face conversations. My vision for the future is bringing back letter-writing.”
