PEOPLE – George Clooney was tricked by Brad Pitt. And it happened on the set of the cult movie Ocean’s Twelveas told by their friend Matt Damon in an episode of the CNN podcast Who’s Talking to Chris Wallaceairing this Friday, July 22.
According to the words of the actor, Brad Pitt would have sent a letter in Italian to the members of the Italian team with whom the production of the film worked (part of the shooting took place near Lake Como) on behalf of George Clooney and in which he asked them never to look him in the eye and never to call him by his first name.
” You’ll only call him Mr. Clooney or Mr. Ocean “, then specified the letter to the staff, which Matt Damon remembered during the interview.
For several days, continues the latter, George Clooney began to find that people had a strange attitude towards him when he greeted them. When he finally understood, he came home and i’ve never seen him so mad with anger “, recalls Matt Damon who was staying at his home. Brad Pitt would then have told him to ” leave everyone else out of it “, acknowledging his wrongs.
In revenge, George Clooney – who is said to have often made jokes on set – would have stuck a sticker saying ” Small penis on board on Brad Pitt’s car.
Matt Damon himself was once the target of George Clooney’s gags. On the set of Men Monuments, the latter would have asked the teams to take over Matt Damon’s costumes a little each week to make him believe that he had gained weight. A real prankster.
