Brad Pitt and George Clooney have been friends for decades and clearly, the two bring out each others’ inner jokester
Brad Pitt and George Clooney first got wind of each other when they both auditioned for Thelma and Louise back in the ’90s. And while the former wound up snagging the iconic role as J.D., the two would manage to forge a formidable friendship in the years that followed.
Not only are Pitt and Clooney one of Hollywood’s tightest pairs, but they’re also great collaborators having worked on several projects together, most notably, the Ocean’s franchise.
“We’ve been friends for a long time,” Clooney told GQ in a recent joint interview. “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 also agreed, revealing that the Hail Caesar actor is a great sounding board for him. “I’ll call George on numerous occasions when things get bumpy,” he said.
As for working together, Clooney jokingly told PEOPLE, “There’s nothing good about it. It’s all a disaster,” before adding, “It’s fun to work with people you know.”
Below, check out some of Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s hilarious friendship moments.
Clooney might be known to be the joker of the two, but Pitt’s goofier side was on full display as he and Matt Damon made silly faces during a photo call for Ocean’s Eleven back in 2001.
Suffice it to say, whatever “Brad Pitt” story Clooney was telling, the subject was clearly embarrassed. The two wore matching ensembles while attending the Ocean’s Thirteen Handprint and Footprint Ceremony at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 2007.
What do you get the guy who has everything? Clearly, your autograph on his custom suit.
Whatever the joke was, we want in. Pitt, Clooney and Damon were pictured sharing a good laugh while on the red carpet at the 60th Cannes Film Festival in 2007.
Clooney playfully caught his pal’s best angles while he was being interviewed during the 65th Venice International Film Festival in 2008.
Is the friendship even real if you and your bestie aren’t people-watching (with running commentary) at events?
A true friend listens to all your stories, no matter how over-the-top. Pitt and Clooney were pictured locked into a seemingly interesting narrative as they arrived to the Burn After Reading photo call by boat, during the 65th Venice Film Festival in 2008.
Pitt took a moment to stop by his friend’s table at the Critics’ Choice Movie Awards in 2012.
The Fight Club actor gave his friend a proud embrace after Clooney won a best actor trophy at the 2012 Critics Choice Movie Award for his role in The Descendants.
Over the course of their decades-long friendship, George Clooney and Brad Pitt have been in several projects together — the three Oceans films, Burn After Reading and If — and they still like hanging in their down time. The two were seen chatting and laughing in-between scenes of the new film Wolfs.
And for as long as they have been acting, they know a quick look over the script before filming never hurt anyone.
Evidently, Clooney never gets tired of trolling his friend …
… and by now, Pitt has just learned to enjoy the ride.
