LONDON -- So George Clooney paid a visit to a sandwich shop in Edinburgh on Thursday and, to be quite honest, people did not know how to handle it.
The goatee-toating Hollywood actor was in town to support Social Bite -- a cafe staffed by former homeless people -- and both press and public lined up from the early hours to catch a glimpse of him. The whole thing was even broadcast live on Sky News.
When the big man finally arrived, people lost it.

I was in Edinburgh when the Pope visited. The hype had nothing on George Clooney's visit.— Fergus Boden (@fergusboden) November 12, 2015
There were selfies all over the place.

People pretty much dropped whatever they were doing.
Just listen to the way this woman reacts after getting her selfie.

When Clooney went into the shop, he joked around with the staff.
