Are Brad Pitt And George Clooney Actually Friends In Real Life? ‘It’s A Very Good Question’

by

As a seasoned gamer with decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia when it comes to the reunion of Brad Pitt and George Clooney in “Wolfs.” The duo, who last graced our screens together in 2008’s “Burn After Reading,” have had their fair share of on-screen magic in the past, most notably in the Ocean’s trilogy. Their off-screen camaraderie has always been the talk of the town, and their recent interview with GQ only serves to reinforce this bond.

Despite the common belief that Brad Pitt and George Clooney often collaborate on films, their upcoming project in 2024 titled Wolfs will be their first shared screen time since Burn After Reading back in 2008. While their past roles in the Ocean’s Eleven series and public image as real-life friends may have strengthened this perception, there’s been speculation about the extent of their off-screen bond. Recently, both actors shared insights into the true nature of their friendship.

What Did George Clooney And Brad Pitt Say About Being Friends In Real Life?

Despite George Clooney and Brad Pitt not sharing the screen for quite some time, the last few years have been filled with an abundance of tales involving these two celebrities. We’ve learned about their amusing escapades, such as when Clooney and Pitt playfully lobbied for Matt Damon to be named “Sexiest Man Alive,” during which Pitt pulled a prank on Clooney making him the “most enraged.” We also heard about their adventure in Ocean’s Twelve, where they left Don Cheadle and Pitt stranded in a haunted house. However, one may wonder if all these antics truly reflect a strong friendship between them.

In a conversation with GQ magazine, the cast was questioned about their friendship, as the film “Wolfs” is set to premiere in theaters before streaming on Apple TV+. They responded by saying: “Yes, we are genuinely good friends.”

  • Clooney: It’s a very good question. After the restraining order that I took out…
  • Pitt: Which was really, I had already had one against him—it’s kind of redundant. Unnecessary. This is why we’re sitting six feet apart now.
  • Clooney: Yeah, man, we’re friends. We’ve been friends for a long time. And it’s fun because we also check in on each other every once in a while, which is an important part of this. Things get complicated in life and you always have to make sure everybody’s okay.
  • Pitt: George is probably the best at understanding, seeing the chessboard and the potential moves. I’ll call George on numerous occasions when things get bumpy.

Wow, it’s not just about pulling off occasional playful tricks to spice things up when they collaborate; Pitt and Clooney share a genuine friendship that goes beyond work. They check in on each other regularly, as friends do to stay connected, and it seems their bond includes Clooney offering marriage advice to Pitt.

It’s surprising that these two have not collaborated more often given their strong bond off-screen, much like the longtime inseparable pair of Matt Damon and Ben Affleck. The teaser for “Wolfs” (releasing on September 20) depicts their old friendship as they portray crime scene cleanup specialists who unintentionally get involved in the same case and are compelled to team up when things take a turn, resulting in familiar squabbles and witty exchanges that fans of the “Ocean’s” series might appreciate. When asked if they drew on their past skills while filming their latest project, they responded:

  • Pitt: It’s time-off muscles. That’s 30 years of time off between the shoots.
  • Clooney: But there’s an art to overlapping dialogue, right? Because when you do it poorly, you’re overlapping before you heard the phrase or the word that would key you to speak. And so what’s fun with Brad is, and I think you’re right, it’s just years of doing this shit, talking together—
  • Pitt: Talking shit between takes.

Reflecting on the 23-year gap since our iconic heist film collaboration, it feels as though we never parted ways. The camaraderie and natural rapport we share off-screen effortlessly translated onto the screen, making it a breeze to recreate the movie’s distinctive dialogue. This genuine friendship forged in reality is what fuels our desire for more on-screen appearances together, ensuring a continued chemistry that leaves fans craving for more.
