George Clooney is making headlines after coming to the aid of a photographer. The shocking incident involving Clooney and the photographer occurred this past Sunday at the 81st annual Venice Film Festival. Clooney, widely known for his pleasant demeanor, sprang into action despite being there to promote his new film. The situation was so jarring that even his normally well-composed wife, Amal Clooney, couldn’t help but gasp at the scene.
When Clooney attended the Venice Film Festival with his wife Amal this past week it was to celebrate the premiere of his new action comedy, “Wolfs”. The film, directed by Jon Watts and co-starring Brad Pitt, tells the story of two shady businessmen forced to work together on an unsettling assignment.
While “Wolfs” marks Clooney and friend Brad Pitt’s first film together since 2012, what’s dominating headlines is how the former ran to assist a photographer who had fallen as he tried to take pictures of him and Amal.
In the video seen below, Clooney stands the photographer up as he graciously poses for pictures alongside his wife. As the evening progressed, Clooney went behind the press pit and took photos to the delight of the swarming crowd.
In response to his heroic gesture, fans on social media have flocked to praise Clooney for helping the photographer. One fan wrote about the incident on the social media platform X, “He did the right thing, which is to make someone’s safety a top priority no matter what else is going on. And he didn’t skip a beat, instinct.” Another fan wrote, “First class gentleman“.
George Clooney Opened Up About Working Alongside Brad Pitt Again
It’s no secret that George Clooney and Brad Pitt are good friends. The two first worked together on the 2001 re-make of “Ocean’s Eleven”. Now, the two have teamed up to play adversaries in “Wolfs”, which is set for limited release on September 20 and will be streaming on AppleTV+ on September 27.
Clooney and Pitt share many similarities, such as superstar power and legendary heartthrob status. However, while the former has long enjoyed good press, Pitt has received criticism in recent years for his tumultuous separation from Angelina Jolie.
However, it appears Clooney is sticking by Pitt’s side as, according to People Magazine, he recently stated that he had fun working with Pitt again. He also told GQ magazine that the two always check in on each other, and though life becomes complicated at times, they always make sure to reach out to one another to see if they’re doing okay.
