2. Brad Pitt convinces film crew to walk on eggshells around George Clooney
We’ve all heard stories of movie stars acting like total divas on set. From outrageous demands to taking themselves far too seriously, men and women alike develop reputations for being incredibly difficult to work with. George Clooney doesn’t really have that type of reputation, but Brad Pitt went out of his way to change that.
While filming a chapter of the Ocean’s Eleven franchise in Italy, Brad Pitt secretly distributed a note to the local film crew, ostensibly on behalf of Clooney. It was even written in Italian. The note explained that Clooney demanded certain treatment on set, including never making direct eye contact with him and never bothering him unless it was extremely urgent. It also stated that Clooney felt that his role as Danny Ocean was exceptionally difficult and required him to focus so much that he required being addressed as “Mr. Ocean” at all times.
The crew dutifully obeyed with the note’s demands, and for two weeks, things were reportedly very weird for Clooney on set. Meanwhile, we can just picture Pitt cackling in his trailer.
