Additionally, the actor added: “The most important thing for me was to be able to work with the queen of romantic comedies and sitcoms, but she couldn’t, so I worked with Julia.” The hesitation and sarcasm were constant.

One of the questions from the press conference was when the two actors met, to which George replied “We met in ‘Ocean’s Eleven (Make Match)’ … We joked for five hours. It has always been very easy for us to work together. They sent us the script almost at the same time, I called Julia and told her “it only works if you do” and she said the same thing “Clooney explained. They both ensured that they were very lucky to be able to work together.

On the other hand, actress Billie Lourd was asked if comedy and making others laugh is something that comes naturally to her, to which she replied: “I grew up with a woman who was always funny, my mom (Carrie Fisher). So not being funny almost meant not being part of my family, so I have to be fun to survive”, Lourd confessed between laughter.
