George Clooney learns about Brangelina's divorce mid-interview
In a world still reeling from the news of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's impending divorce (why God?!), it's not much comfort to learn that even the family's closest friends were totally unaware of it.
George Clooney was being interviewed by CNN while at a UN roundtable discussing the refugee crisis Tuesday. When the inevitable question about the power couple's divorce came up, Clooney was as taken aback as the rest of the world.
Interviewer Richard Roth asked for his thoughts, and George answered his question with another question: "What happened?" You tell us, Clooney. You tell us.
