George Clooney Pranks Tom Cruise as Brad Pitt

In a light-hearted revelation, George Clooney recently shared a humorous anecdote about a prank he played on fellow actor Tom Cruise. During his appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show on September 17, Clooney disclosed that he cleverly used the name of his friend, Brad Pitt, to pull off this amusing stunt.

Clooney explained that he crafted a note on “the headed paper” and sent it to Cruise, suggesting that he and Pitt should collaborate on a sequel to their 1994 film, Interview With The Vampire. However, in a twist, Clooney proposed that they swap roles for the sequel. He recounted, “I sent it to Tom Cruise, saying they want to do Interview with the Vampire 2, but this time Brad wants to play Lestat (it was played by Tom in the original movie).” This playful suggestion led to a comical misunderstanding, as Jimmy Kimmel chimed in, revealing that Pitt had received a call from Cruise, who seemed confused about the whole idea.

In addition to this prank, Clooney shared another amusing tidbit about his correspondence with various actors. He mentioned that he possesses stationary with former President Bill Clinton's name on it. “Every actor I know I've sent a letter from Bill Clinton,” he stated, showcasing his knack for humor. He further elaborated on his unique approach, saying, “I try to find their worst film and I tell them, ‘So I was on the plane and [watching your movie].’” This playful jab at his peers highlights Clooney's light-hearted nature and his ability to keep things fun in the often serious world of Hollywood.

Moreover, Clooney also shared a story about sending a “gift” to the legendary Meryl Streep. He humorously mentioned that he included a box of CDs for dialect training, suggesting that they could be useful for her. He said, “I sent [a letter] to Meryl with a box of CDs for dialect and I said, ‘This guy helped me with my accent in Troy and I think it could really help you.’” This anecdote not only showcases Clooney's playful spirit but also his respect for his fellow actors.

George Clooney's playful antics remind us that even the biggest stars in Hollywood enjoy a good laugh. His ability to blend humor with friendship highlights the camaraderie that exists among actors, proving that the entertainment industry is not just about serious performances but also about fun and light-hearted moments.
