      A combination of pictures created in London on March 31, 2019 shows US actor and filmmaker George Clooney (L) gesturing at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on June 7, 2018, Sultan of Brunei Hassanal Bolkiah (C) saluting during a ceremonial guard of honour to mark his 68th birthday in Bandar Seri Begawan on August 14, 2014 and British singer-songwriter Elton John (R) attending the 19th International AIDS Conference in Washington, DC on July 23, 2012. - British pop legend Elton John has joined "friend" George Clooney in calling for a boycott of nine Brunei-owned hotels over the sultanate's new death-penalty laws for gay sex and adultery. The nine hotels mentioned by Clooney are located in the US, Britain, France and Italy. They include London's exclusive Dorchester and the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles. Brunei is an absolute monarchy, which has been ruled for 51 years by Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah.
