Brad pranks Clooney with diva demands list
George Clooney got a taste of his own practical joking on the set of
Ocean's Twelve in Italy when pal Brad Pitt turned the movie star into
a diva with a simple memo.
Clooney, who is famous for pulling pranks on his co-stars, spent two
weeks on the set scratching his head and trying to figure out why his
crew insisted on calling him by his character's name in the film,
Danny Ocean.
Co-star Matt Damon explains: "Brad put a memo out in Italian. He had
somebody translate it into Italian for the entire Italian crew and,
when we got there, attached to the call sheet was instructions of how
to interact with George Clooney.
"Brad wrote, 'You can only refer to him as Mr Ocean or Danny Ocean or
Danny. It was this long list and this went on for like two-and-a-half
weeks.
"People were going, 'Hello Mr Ocean...' and finally he caught on when
some guy said, 'OK Danny, whatever you want.'
"So George walked right up to the first AD (assistant director) Greg
Jacobs and said: 'Did you know about this?' and Greg just looked and
he started to see the next few years of his life play out, and he
turned to George and said, 'Please don't hurt my children.'"
