George Clooney New Girlfriend Update: Actor Bares All in Reddit Q&A - Hobbies, Worst Film, Dating Sandra & More!
George Clooney has just made a lot of his fans very happy by candidly answering questions during a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session Tuesday afternoon. The Gravity actor revealed information about pranks, his favorite sandwich, co-stars and his upcoming film "The Monuments Men."
Clooney opened the Q&A by describing himself as "a filmmaker who's worked on films you may know. I was also a guest star on The Golden Girls."
Here are some of the highlights of the inside look into the world of The World's Most Eligible Bachelor:
- He once whopped Leonardo DiCaprio's behind in basketball - When asked if he beat Leo at basketball, the star replies, "It's true. It was a fun day. It's always fun when you play people younger than you and win. We're playing a bunch of six year olds tomorrow."
- What hobby does he have that most people don't know about? - "I'm a cobbler, I like to make shoes. ... Let me just tell you this. When Daniel Day-Lewis was spending all his time playing Lincoln, I was just fixing shoes. He's spending all the time focused on the hat and the pipe and getting into character, and I remained focused - with the overalls and the hammer."
- Mr. Clooney - What is the best prank that a co-star/crew has played on you on set? - "It was Brad. We were shooting 'Oceans 12' in my hometown in Lake Como, and he had a flier sent around saying George only wants to be called by his character's name Danny Ocean, don't look him in the eyes, and it got into the local paper. As you know, jokes don't translate at all, and they called me il divo, and said that I was treating the crew like shit. When it got into the paper I came downstairs and Brad had the paper in his hand, and I said, "You're mine from here on out. Brad just said, 'Please don't harm my children." Yeah, he's done some pretty rotten things.'"
- What is George Clooney's "perfect sandwich?" - "Oh, the perfect sandwich. Well, good question. The perfect sandwich would be ... I want to come up with two gorgeous actresses, but I won't do that. Name your two. I don't know you know I'd have to think about it. I do like ham and avocado and a little tomato and a little mustard. Just a simple deli sandwich is great. You know, put some coleslaw in there."
- When asked about his chemistry with Sandra Bullock on Gravity - "It's tricky cause Sandy drinks so much that oftentimes it's just hard to keep her upright. No, you know, Sandy and I have known each other for over 20 years and we both were struggling actors when we first met. She was dating a friend of mine at the time who's still a good friend of ours. Every time we're together it's funny. She's somebody I adore, really, she's just fun to be in a room with. I'm sure people will assume people aren't quite who they appear to be on screen--they're shorter or taller or meaner or dumber--but Sandy is exactly what she appears on screen, an incredibly charming woman who's really just fun to hang out with. Very smart and centered, even though she does drink a lot."
Clooney impressed the fans because of his oozing charisma and smooth talk as he spoke to fans for almost three hours. During the session, George was on set filming Tomorrowland under Disney, which hits theaters May 2015.
He also talked about his new film "The Monuments Men", which he directed, produced and stars in. The film hits the cinema February 7.
