George Clooney teased Brad Pitt about ageing while promoting their movie Wolfs at the Venice International Film Festival. Clooney and Pitt have been friends for a long time and have worked on several projects together. The camaraderie on and off screen is well known.
The two spoke to the press at the festival. Pitt, who recently turned 60, mentioned that he loves to work with people he respects. Clooney quickly added to the statement and said, “He’s 74 years old, and he’s very lucky at this age to still be working quite honestly.”
Apart from the jokes, he added that he and Pitt are grateful and fortunate “to have a job and a career,” especially after the Ticket to Paradise star refused to take any larger roles in the past years.
Clooney and Pitt’s friendship goes back to the 2000s when they were first cast together for Ocean’s Eleven.
