We all have seen Geroge Clooney playing a coy on screen in many movies, but the actor is famous for his prankster personality in real life. Recently, while making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor went on to talk about how he pulls pranks on his fellow co-stars and friends. 

During the September 17, 2024 episode, the star stated that he is fond of sending people letters, making them look like they are from different persons or actors. As per Clooney, he had even sent letters to his friends in the name of former president Bill Clinton. 

Recalling the time the show’s host, Jimmy Kimmel, once gifted him fake stationery from Clinton, 78, as well as from Brad Pitt, Clooney then went on to add that he usually tries to find the worst film by an actor and talks about it in his funny letters. 

“The Brad Pitt one was brutal,” George stated, also adding that he had sent those to Don Cheadle as well as the Mission: Impossible legend, Tom Cruise. 

“I sent it to Tom Cruise, saying they want to do [Interview with the Vampire 2],” Clooney added. The Perfect Strom actor further recalled that he had mentioned in the letter that this time Brad Pitt wanted to play the role of Lestat. 

Adding to his words, Jimmy Kimmel too responded that the World War Z actor, Brad Pitt, “this afternoon said that Tom called him” and that he had agreed to give Pitt the role of Lestat. 

While the Bullet Train actor had no clue of what the Days of Thunder actor was up to, he simply responded, “What are you talking about?” Kimmel stated.

Hilarie Burton, 42, suggests that the new One Tree Hill reboot will tackle patriarchy as women will be directing and producing the show. Burton stated how being in an all women’s group has changed her mindset, describing that time on the original series as more ‘toxic.’ It is one of the projects where she and her co-star Sophia Bush are co-lead and it has allowed her to tell fresh stories that are befitting her age and womanhood.

Burton is one of the producers on the One Tree Hill re-boot and she is keen that this project is more centred on women’s voice and approach to the story than any else. She’s thrilled to work with women she admires and wishes to tell stories from a very different perspective than what she used to do in her 20s. According to her “being able to work with a team of women and look at these stories [and] these characters through a female lens” is very important to her, per People.

The news about the reboot leaked in August. It took Burton and Bush by surprise, but having noticed and delighted by the support of fans, they hope that one day this dream project will soon be greenlit by Netflix. On collaborating with Sophia Bush, Burton said, “I’m excited to be able to team up with people that I look up to, people that I love dearly.”
