Matt Damon and George Clooney call Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein a 'bully'

Matt Damon and George Clooney are the latest actors to speak out about Harvey Weinstein.

The Hollywood producer has been accused of rape and sexual harassment but has denied any allegations of non-consensual sex "unequivocally".

"You had to spend about five minutes with him to know that he was a bully," Matt told ABC News.

"He was proud of that. That's how he carried himself. I knew he was a womanizer."

This is the tweet from ABC News with a video clip of George Clooney and Matt Damon.

Matt Damon admitted his friend and fellow actor Ben Affleck had told him about Gwyneth Paltrow's experience with Harvey Weinstein.

In 1999 he said he worked with actress and the producer in The Talented Mr. Ripley but says he never asked her about what happened.

Matt told ABC's Good Morning America: "I never talked to Gwyneth about it. Ben told me, but I knew that they had come to whatever agreement or understanding that they had come to. She had handled it.

"She was the first lady of Miramax. And he treated her incredibly respectfully.

"I wouldn't want to be married to the guy. But this level of sexual predation is not something that I ever thought was going on. Absolutely not."

Both actors said they had no idea about the allegations despite Harvey Weinstein being pivotal in launching both of their careers.

George Clooney says the Harvey Weinstein scandal is "beyond infuriating".

Oscar winner George Clooney said he was unaware of Harvey Weinstein's behaviour and hoped this was a "watershed" moment in society.

He also said the producer bragged about affairs with various actresses but he didn't believe him.

"I didn't really think that they were going to have affairs with Harvey, quite honestly. And clearly they didn't."
