During Clooney’s Tuesday, Sept. 17th appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor, 63, said that he is fond of sending people letters that appear to be written by other people, including former president Bill Clinton and as his Wolfs costar Brad Pitt.
“Every actor I know I’ve sent a letter from Bill Clinton,” Clooney explained, noting that host Jimmy Kimmel once gifted him fake stationary from Clinton, 78, and from Pitt, 60. “I try to find their worst film and I tell them, ‘So I was on the plane and [watching your movie].’ ”
“The Brad Pitt one was brutal. I sent it to Don Cheadle,” he added. “I sent it to Tom Cruise, saying they want to do [Interview with the Vampire 2], but this time Brad wants to play Lestat. And I sent it to Meryl Streep with a box of CDs for dialect and I said, ‘This guy helped me with my accent in Troy and I think it could really help you.’ ”
“Brad this afternoon said that Tom called him and said ‘Yeah, it’s cool, you can play Lestat, that’s fine, I’m okay with that,’ and he was like, ‘What are you talking about?’ ” Kimmel, 56, responded.

Brad Pitt slams his most famous film roles
The film star has criticised some of his most well-known film roles
He may be one of Hollywood’s most respected male stars but Brad Pitt has delivered a damning verdict of some of his most famous film roles.
Pitt, who was in Glasgow last summer filming Zombie flick World War Z, has laid into some of his much loved performances, saying he “flatlined” and “flunked”.
Speaking of his Oscar nominated role in Twelve Monkeys, Pitt said: “I think I was forced on Terry (Gilliam). I got the first half dead-on but I flunked the second.”
In an interview with a newspaper, he was even more scathing of his starring role in the 1998 film Meet Joe Black, saying: “I flatlined in that one.”
Pitt said he felt “miscast” in the Hollywood epic Interview with the Vampire, in which he starred alongside Tom Cruise and Christian Slater.
And on one of his first lead roles as a cowboy in Ridley Scott’s Thelma and Louise, he said: “That was the first time I was let into the show. I remember thinking, ‘oh that’s how I come off.’ I felt I could have had more weight.
Even though he spoke negatively about some of his most famous film roles, Pitt refused to say a bad word about the critically-panned 2005 release Mr and Mrs Jones, where he met his future partner, Angelina Jolie.
He said: “That was a monumental change for more reasons than one, six plus one, to be exact. I think the film has merit too. It’s really good fun,” he said.
