The Post reached out to Burnett’s rep for comment. The rep told The Post on Thursday that Burnett made the latest remark “to get a laugh,” while also noting that, “yes, she’s a George Clooney fan.”
While Burnett has accomplished much in her decadeslong career, she’s still adding to her resume, such as by appearing on “Better Call Saul” last year.

The series acts as a prequel to the earlier TV hit “Breaking Bad.”

Odenkirk and his co-star, Rhea Seehorn, who played attorney Kim Wexler on the series, were extremely charmed by Burnett while working with her on set.
“She’s brilliant, brilliant in this season,” Odenkirk said during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last year.
“Dramatic, so believable, and just an amazing person to be with and hear her stories and then to watch her act.”
Seehorn also added of the actress, “She was a huge fan of the show, and that’s how she came to talk to [series creator] Vince [Gilligan] about it, and that’s insane to meet like a legend that they’re like, ‘I like your work,’ and I’m like, ‘What? Why?'”
