Just My Type

The Interview
George Clooney
MOVIE STAR

Clooney is the star and director of Leatherheads, which is currently in theaters.

DP: I was looking at your bio on imdb.com. It says, "Failed to join the Cincinnati Reds."

GC: Yeah, that wasn't quite the way it worked. "Failed to get past the first cut," I believe, would be the better phrase. "Lacked skill" might have been the term. [The tryout] was a minor league pitcher throwing moderate speed curveballs, and I'm stepping in the bucket. It was just a nightmare.

DP: I was in the Longest Yard remake. What do you think of my acting skills? You can be brutally honest. I'll be brutally honest with your football skills.

GC: I really, really think it's fantastic that you have another job.

DP: That's fair enough.

GC: Go ahead and fire away on my football skills.

DP: You sort of played like a sissy boy in Leatherheads. You'd be the kind of guy I'd want to pound in the open field.

GC: That's exactly right.
