Hillary Clinton is getting some help from Hollywood in her campaign fundraising efforts, with George Clooney poised to host a cocktail and dinner with the Democratic presidential front-runner.

{mosads}The “Monuments Men” star and his wife, Amal Clooney, will entertain donors at events with Clinton next month in Los Angeles and San Francisco, according to People magazine.

The 54-year-old Academy Award winner and longtime Democrat had pledged in an interview last month to assist Clinton in “whatever way I can help.”

Clooney recently praised Clinton’s rival for the Democratic nomination, Bernie Sanders, saying the Vermont senator is “forcing the conversation to things that never get talked about in U.S. politics.” He also slammed Donald Trump in the interview with The Guardian, calling the GOP White House hopeful an “opportunist” and “xenophobic fascist.”

In 2012, Clooney hosted a dinner at his California home to raise money for President Obama’s reelection bid.
