Brad Pitt and George Clooney Banter with the Press
Friday, August 29th, 2008PacificCoastNews.com
Two former winners of the ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ title are seen here disembarking a boat to attend the premiere of their latest work together ‘Burn After Reading’. And for anyone that has seen the Ocean’s 11 series, you know that the comraderie and chemistry between these two is fun to watch, which is probably a major factor in the success of the Ocean’s flicks. Given this, their latest work ‘Burn After Reading’ should be quite the entertaining piece. The charming duo were interviewed shortly after one of their premieres to this movie, and they took the moment to play with the media and bantering back and forth in that oh so appealing Clooney and Pitt style that we have come to love. The boys were asked questions about their personal lives, and instead of getting heated by the grilling, they made fun of it. When asked if he would ever ‘settle down’ George Clooney quipped as hearts broke all over America, ‘gosh, I have NEVER been asked that question. Actually… I am getting married and having a child today’. And of course Pitt chimed in deadpan saying that well, he has 6 kids now, and probably a couple more by this time next year, why not take some of his on?? Before the conference was over, Pitt was met by a Spanish journalist who thought it *not crazy* to wear a pair of gym shorts similar to the ones Pitt wore in the movie for his role as a gym trainer. She even went so far as to ask him if he would help her work out. He gently reminded her it was just a movie, that was just a role, that he in fact WASN’T a real gym trainer but she asked him anyway if he could help her train for running by asking if he would run after her. Clooney took that open door and ‘ran’ with it saying Brad would be more likely to run AWAY from her. The rest of the conference went just as similarly with the two running interference with each other to play with the paps. When Brad was asked about the twins Clooney retorted ‘they’re fine’ and when Brad was asked if he had the choice between winning an Oscar or falling in love with an Italian woman, Clooney cut him off lawyer style saying ‘You don’t have to answer that, Brad.’
