Ever thought of living with George Clooney? Well, thanks to his new Omaze fundraiser, you practically can.
In a new video from the fundraising company, Clooney is giving one lucky fan and a guest of their choice the chance to spend an evening with him┬аand his wife, Amal, at their home in Lake Como, Italy. In the video, Clooney teases┬аthe possibility of a lifelong friendship, much like the one he says he gained with a random roommate during the pandemic.
тАЬOne of my favourite things about meeting new people is that you never know when a lifelong friendship is going to blossom,тАЭ the┬аMidnight Sky┬аactor shares in the fundraising video which quickly turns funny.┬атАЬIn fact, by total dumb luck, I actually spent most of last year rooming with some random guy and weтАЩre basically best friends now, but donтАЩt take my word for it, just ask him.тАЭ
тАЬDo I recommend hanging out with George Clooney?тАЭ his roommate, Byron, asks. тАЬNo, I do not. So, basically, George Clooney swung by my house to pick up something he was buying from me on Craigslist and the stay-at-home order hit and he never left. The moral of the story is, donтАЩt use Craigslist.тАЭ
What started as a quick stop to purchase a Batman action figure, soon turned into one of the worst living situations. It wasnтАЩt long before Byron discovered all of ClooneyтАЩs quirks, including his obsession with friend and fellow actor, Brad Pitt.
тАЬCan you believe Amal wanted me to throw this away?тАЭ the father of two says of a pillow with PittтАЩs face on it as he stands in a room covered with posters and memorabilia of the тАЬOnce Upon a Time in HollywoodтАЭ actor. тАЬNot throwing this out, no way, man. Thank you for giving me a place. Me and Brad.тАЭ
Clooney became the typical bad roommate, hogging the bathroom for hair and makeup, forcing Byron to watch PittтАЩs films over and over again and showing up during the most inappropriate moments, like when Byron┬аwas doing a Zoom job interview.
Life-size cutouts of Pitt slowly started showing up all over the apartment, and while Clooney was living it up, this was the last straw for an already fed-up Byron.
тАЬIt was an unforgettable time,тАЭ Clooney says┬аof the living experience. тАЬWe laughed, we learned, we lived, so naturally when the stay-at-home order was finally lifted, Byron and I knew we had a tough decision to make.тАЭ
тАЬI told him to get the f**k out,тАЭ Bryon exclaims.
While you may not get the living experience Clooney and Byron had, one lucky fan and a friend┬аwill have their flights and┬аhotel paid for during their trip to Italy.
By entering the Omaze drawing and donating, fans will also be supporting the Clooney Foundation for Justice, which advocates for justice for human rights abuses around the world.
