This comes as Clooney has revealed that he's 'a little irritated' with Quentin Tarantino for talking 's**t' about him.
The pair starred together as brothers in Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 thriller From Dusk ‘Till Dawn, which was written by Tarantino early in his career.
Before this, George made his name portraying Doug Ross in medical drama ER before going on to launch a successful Hollywood career, starring in huge films such as O Brother, Where Art Thou?, One Fine Day and Out of Sight.
But despite their past collaboration and his illustrious career both in front of and behind the camera, Quentin, 61, reportedly had some negative things to say of George, 63, of late, with the hunk not impressed at all.
Speaking in a joint GQ interview with pal Pitt, George remarked: 'Quentin said some s**t about me recently, so I’m a little irritated by him.

'He did some interview where he was naming movie stars, and he was talking about you, and somebody else, and then this guy goes, “Well, what about George?” He goes, he’s not a movie star. And then he literally said something like, "Name me a movie since the millennium." And I was like, "Since the millennium? That’s kind of my whole f***ing career."'
Instead of giving his support on the matter, his longtime pal Brad evidently found George's rant hilarious, chucking 'Heh heh heh heh heh' amid their interview.
Continuing to share his frustration at the director, George went on: 'So now I’m like, all right, dude, f*** off. I don’t mind giving him s***. He gave me s***.'
In spite of his irritation, George insisted that they as actors were 'really lucky' to work with 'great directors', noting that directors and the screenplay of a film is what 'keeps you alive' - having learnt that after starring in 'really bad films'.
While the film star is a tad frustrated at Quentin, he had nothing but great things to say about his long time pal Brad, who stars with him in new action comedy film Wolfs.
After making a joke about 'restraining orders', George told how the two 'check in on each' other every now and again, which is an 'important' part of friendship seeing how life can get 'complicated at times'.
