George Clooney was answering questions at a press briefing in Italy on Tuesday for the screening of his new movie The Men Who Stare at Goats, when thing took a bizarre turn. The film, directed by Grant Heslov, was previewed at the Venice Film Festival, though out of the competition.
A male prostitute took the microphone and proceeded to strip down to his undershorts, while declaring that he was gay and wanted a kiss from the actor. He said, “I am gay George. Take me, choose me George, please. May I kiss you, just once?” Clooney responded, “It’s hard when you take a big chance and it doesn’t really work.”
The actor had Italian actress Elisabetta Canalis on his arm during the red carpet event – more photos here.
