Interview with George Clooney (Humor)

E. Charl Hattingh, columnist for LMI and BOFC

I sat up all night prior to my first ever interview with one of Hollywood's biggest stars. I tried to figure out just what I would ask Mr. George Clooney. As the interview drew near, I looked over all my notes. I don't think people realize how much goes into research before an interview. But this was huge for me. I received a perfect time slot to interview the great Mr. Clooney: On the eve of one of the biggest entertainment events of the year!

As I sat opposite Mr. Clooney, the shaking started. It started with my little toe and moved from toe to toe until all my toes were shaking. Then the shaking went all the way up my legs through my mid section, all the way to my head. I was shaking violently. When the servants were done cleaning up after I lost my lunch, I got back to the interview.

What To Look Forward To...

Lord Of The Rings
Dec. 19

The Majestic
Dec. 21

Ali
Dec. 25


E. Charl Hattingh:  So...So...So...Uh, thank you.
George Clooney (with a quizzical look):  Sure?
ECH:  Uh, thank you for...Uh...Meeting with me.
GC:    You're welcome.
ECH:  So, you must get like tons of women!
GC:    Yeah, I would say that I get my fair share.
ECH:  Anybody famous?
GC:    That's kind of personal.
ECH:  Oh, sorry.
(I searched through my notes feverishly for a question, as my body continued to shake)
ECH:   So, boxers or briefs?
GC (frowning):  Briefs.
ECH:   Oh cool...So is mine.  Maybe we can trade sometime.
(I could not believe that those words came out of my mouth.  My face turned blood red)
GC:     Uh, I don't think so.  Did you want to ask me about the movie?
ECH:   Oh yeah!  So, tomorrow night is the big night!
GC:     Tomorrow night?
ECH:   The Facts Of Life TV movie reunion.
GC:     Oh, I'm not in that.
ECH:   You're not?  Then why are you doing this interview?
GC:     For Ocean's 11.
ECH:   The sequel to Ocean's 10?
GC:     No, it's my movie coming out in theaters on December 7th.
ECH:   You've made the jump to movies?
GC (chuckling):  Yes, quite a few years ago.
ECH:   Really?  I should do more research.
GC:     This movie costars Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, among others.  
ECH:   How's Julia in bed?
GC:     I wouldn't know.
ECH:   Whatever, you player!
GC:     Listen here you idiot!  Can we just talk about the movie?
ECH:   Hell no! This is huge! You slept with Julia Roberts! I can sell this story to
          the Enquirer!

And that, my friends, was the end of the interview. The reason this interview took such a long time to be published is that I spent the last few weeks recovering in the hospital after Mr. Clooney pummeled me.

Turns out that Mr. Clooney has been in quite a few movies. The way he was hitting made me think that he probably got the lead for Ali as well. Anyway, hopefully my next interview will go better, as I talk to rapper/TV star Will Smith about his work in music and the hilarious TV show "Fresh Prince Of Bel Air".
