George Clooney has slammed Paris Hilton, urging people not to confuse her success for talent.

The Oscar winner insists too many young stars think they're good actors, just because they are landing roles and making money.

He tells Rolling Stone: "There is a funny thing that happens when you are a young actor. You equate financial success and getting jobs with whether or not you are good at it."

And he singles out Paris Hilton as one example: "And it still happens. That's why there is Paris Hilton. Now I'm in trouble with Paris Hilton."
