George Clooney | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

George Clooney is opening up about how his wife Amal has started watching his iconic television series E.R.

For those that don’t know, the 59-year-old Oscar-winning actor and director played the role of pediatrician Doug Ross on the beloved NBC medical series from 1994 to 1999.

Doug was known for being a ladies man and it doesn’t seem like Amal is a big fan of the character!

“My wife is watching them now, and it’s getting me in a lot of trouble because I’d forgotten all of the terrible things [Doug] was doing picking up on women,” George said on the SmartLess podcast.

Podcast co-host Jason Bateman suggested that Amal might get starstruck around George now that she’s watching the show and the actor responded, “Yeah, that’s not my wife.”

George also spoke about meeting Amal. He said, “She was brilliant and funny and beautiful and kind. I was sort of swept off my feet. We got engaged after a few months and got married within the first year that we met. It surprised me more than probably anybody else in the world—and everybody else was pretty surprised.”

We have new photos of George on the set of his upcoming movie from last week!

George Clooney has arrived on set!

The 59-year-old Oscar winner bundled up as he began production on his new movie The Tender Bar on Friday afternoon (March 5) in Cambridge, Mass.

George spent the day filming on the Lesley University campus, which is being used as a stand-in for Yale University.

The Tender Bar stars Ben Affleck and Tye Sheridan and is an adaption of the memoir of the same name by Pulitzer Prize-winning author and film subject J.R. Moehringer, who will serve as an executive producer on the movie.

The Tender Bar “recounts Moehringer’s adolescent years, as he grows up on Long Island in search of a father figure among the patrons at his uncle’s bar.”

Sources are saying that Tye will be playing J.R. while Ben will be playing the uncle.

As of right now, it’s unclear if George will be appearing in The Tender Bar.

It was recently announced that George Clooney will be reuniting with a former co-star for a new romantic comedy!

Billie Lourd just landed a major role.

The 28-year-old Star Wars actress will star alongside George Clooney and Julia Roberts in the upcoming film Ticket to Paradise, Deadline reported Friday (March 5).

She will play Wren Butler, “a recent University of Chicago graduate who accompanies her best friend Lily to a post graduation jaunt to Bali. Lily’s abrupt decision to marry a Balinese local triggers her parents (Clooney, Roberts) to team to try and stop her from repeating their mistake from 25 years ago. Wren stays in Bali for the engagement/wedding festivities and, in the process, finds her own love with a local doctor.”

Lily’s casting hasn’t been announced yet. Ol Parker is set to direct the feature this fall.

“🏝🎟🏝!!! ‼️❕❗️I’m so excited I have no hashtags just exclamation points and exclamation point emojis!!!‼️❕❗️,” Billie wrote on Instagram along with the casting news.

Billie Lourd recently revealed she had a health scare while pregnant.

Mae Whitman has a lot of good things to say about George Clooney.

The 32-year-old Good Girls actress starred as George‘s daughter in One Fine Day, which just celebrated its 25th anniversary, and in a new interview, opened up about her friendship with George that lasts to this day.

“One Fine Day was such a cornerstone for me, of who I am,” Mae shared with People. “Especially working with George, we became so genuinely close, in a way that is funny. He’s just somebody that my soul really connected with.”

“I think we just had something that just felt natural and normal, and we had the same sense of humor,” she recalled. “And he really took me under his wing, and he took me everywhere, all around New York. And for many, many years after I would go to his house and I would get chased by his pig Max across the yard!”

Mae also spoke of how George supported her in having a normal life outside of the set too, and made sure she was always the winner when it came to school fundraisers.

“Remember when they used to sell wrapping paper in school, and you’d try to sell the most wrapping paper? I remember George would always wait until the very last day, like the deadline,” she shared. “And then he’d be like, ‘Okay, what’s the highest kid have?’ And then he would quadruple it. So I would walk into class and go, ‘George Clooney, he wants 10,000 wrapping papers.’ Those are the memories I have. I felt so supported and I felt loved.”

She also spoke about the last time she saw him in person and the funny thing that happened.

“[George] and I stayed close for many, many years,” Mae remembers. “I think one of the last times I saw him I was with an ex-boyfriend at a movie theater. I hadn’t seen him in a while, and I went up and I was like, ‘George, oh my God!’” And he immediately bee-lined past me and grabbed the guy I was dating at the time, and was like, ‘If you ever hurt her, I will hunt you down.’ I feel like we will always have that connection.”

Recently, George and co-star Michelle Pfeiffer called another amusing story from the set of One Fine Day. Read it here…

Julia Roberts and George Clooney are teaming up for a new movie!

The pair have joined the cast of Ticket to Paradise, a romantic comedy directed by Ol Parker for Universal Pictures.

Julia and George will play a divorced couple who decide to travel to Bali in an attempt to prevent their daughter from making the same mistake they made 25 years ago.

Julia and George have been close friends since they met on set of Ocean’s Eleven franchise back in 2001. They also starred in Money Monster together in 2016.

According to Deadline, “This deal is important to those wondering when film studios are going to stop selling pricey star packages to streamers because of the uncertainty of the theatrical marketplace, and once again step up to considerable projects that can work in theaters.”

“Sources said when this project came together quickly through Working Title, streamers quickly circled. But Universal’s top brass said, no, we are in the theatrical movie business, and this one isn’t traveling,” the outlet added.

Tye Sheridan has booked his next role!

George Clooney has just revealed one of his hidden talents in his cover story with AARP magazine – it’s sewing!

The 59-year-old Midnight Sky actor and director revealed that he’s been filling up the months of quarantine by sewing up his wife, Amal, and children, Alexander and Ella‘s clothes.

“I do a lot of sewing the kids’ clothes,” he shared, after opening up about how he rewired a machine to do so. “And my wife’s dress that tore a couple of times. I was a bachelor for a long time and didn’t have any money, and you have to learn how to repair things.”

George adds, “If we were on an island and you had to pick somebody to help you survive, I would pick me. Ask all of my friends and they would pick me, too. I can make a waterspout out of this and a pitcher out of that.”

Another big thing he did during quarantine – re-stained his entire house, inside and out.

“It was getting dingy, and I had buckets of stain, and I was, like, ‘Well, what else am I going to do?’ It made me feel better. And I put chicken wire all around the dog yard,” he recalled.

In the same interview, George revealed the sweet thing that he and Amal still do for each other.
