Noah Wyle and George Clooney reunion
Besides the Golden Globe, this awards season has already been special for the actor, as he has also won both the Emmy Award and the Critics’ Choice Award for the same role. Another recent moment that caught the attention of Wyle's fans was the heartwarming reunion between the actor and George Clooney, his former ER co-star.
They played Dr. John Carter and Dr. Doug Ross, respectively, on the hit medical drama and recently shared the stage at the 2026 AARP Movies for Grownups Awards. This marks their reunion more than three decades after ER first premiered.
At the event, Wyle awarded Clooney for his performance in Noah Baumbach’s film Jay Kelly and praised him for his ability to continually reinvent himself as an actor. On the other hand, Clooney later presented Wyle with the Best Actor award in the television category for The Pitt, making it one of the most emotional moments of the evening.
