Danny Ocean would never.

George Clooney said he was offered $35 million for one day’s work to film a commercial — and turned it down.

“I talked to Amal about it and we decided it’s not worth it,” Clooney told the Guardian, referring to his wife. “It was (associated with) a country that, although it’s an ally, is questionable at times, and so I thought: ‘Well, if it takes a minute’s sleep away from me, it’s not worth it.’”

The “Ocean’s Eleven” star, 60, also said he’s slowed down his acting career, relatively.

“In general, there just aren’t that many great parts — and, look, I don’t have to act,” he said. “My wife and I had this conversation when I turned 60 this summer. I said, ‘I can still bounce around pretty good, and we both love what we do. But we gotta make sure we don’t book ourselves silly.’”

But he’s still directing an upcoming film, “The Tender Bar.” Then appearing with Julia Roberts in a movie shot in Australia. Then filming with Brad Pitt in the U.K.

The Clooneys’ time is also consumed by their 4-year-old twins, Alexander and Ella.

“I’m like, ‘Baby boy, fantastic,’” Clooney said earlier this month recalling a doctor’s visit. “Then they said, ‘And the other one is the girl,’ and I was like, ‘Oh s—t.’”
