George Clooney and Brad Pitt’s Hilarious Red Carpet Moment and Their ‘Sexiest Man Alive’ Jokes

George Clooney and Brad Pitt are back together on the big screen, and according to the two stars, it was like no time had passed at all. The dynamic duo, who have famously collaborated in films like Ocean’s Eleven and Burn After Reading, have reunited for the new thriller-comedy Wolfs, and the chemistry was instant.

At the premiere of Wolfs on Wednesday at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, Clooney, 63, and Pitt, 60, shared how effortlessly they slipped back into working together. Clooney joked about his age, saying, “I’m too old to hit a curveball, but I think that’s an automatic, too. Never going to be a straight answer or straight delivery,” before turning his attention to their easy collaboration. “No, from the minute we got there, it was just easy to do it again,” he added. “The fun part is that all the dialogue of us talking on top of each other was pretty easy to do because it was fun.”

The film, directed by Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming), features Clooney and Pitt as fixers hired to tackle the same job, only to find themselves working together in the heat of the moment. The official synopsis describes the film as focusing on “one explosive night” where the two must put aside their egos and petty grievances to get the job done. With its fast-paced, comedic tone and high-stakes situations, Wolfs promises to deliver the kind of energy that fans of Clooney and Pitt’s previous collaborations have come to expect.

The premiere of Wolfs marked a milestone for the pair, as it was their first onscreen reunion in years. The film had previously made its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1, where both Clooney and Pitt attended with their respective partners, Amal Clooney and Ines de Ramon.

In true Clooney-Pitt fashion, the red carpet in L.A. was full of playful banter between the two stars. When asked about their iconic Sexiest Man Alive titles—both men have won the honor twice—Pitt quipped, “This is the Sexiest Man Still Alive,” referring to Clooney. Clooney, always quick with a comeback, responded, “Yes, exactly. That’s going to be starting now. I know,” adding, “I tried to get AARP to do that for [Pitt], Sexiest Man Still Alive. I have the T-shirt, by the way. Somebody else got it. Yeah, all I got was a T-shirt.”

Their camaraderie and humor were on full display, giving fans a glimpse into the long-standing friendship between the two Hollywood heavyweights. It’s clear that their time apart hasn’t diminished the spark that made their previous collaborations so memorable, and Wolfs is set to bring that magic back to the screen. Fans of Clooney and Pitt’s onscreen antics can look forward to their explosive chemistry in this highly anticipated thriller-comedy, which is sure to be a hit.
