The Venice Film Festival is serving up some serious friendship vibes this year!
I was genuinely surprised when I first found out that Brad Pitt and George Clooney have been tight for years. Consider me intrigued!
Honestly, after Brad Pitt’s messy divorce with Angelina Jolie, I kind of checked out. I’m all about supporting strong women, and after diving into those court docs, I chose to side with Jolie.
But here I am, back at it, writing about Brad Pitt—why? Because George Clooney and his wife are total goals, and seeing these two actors being all goofy on the red carpet pulled me right back in.
Pitt and Clooney have spilled the tea about their bromance, revealing they’ve been besties for years, theygossip.com reports.
So, I’ve put together a detailed timeline of their friendship and all their iconic moments as a duo, so you don’t have to go on a wild goose chase to find it all. You’re welcome! 😎

Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s BFF Moments
George Clooney, 63, and Brad Pitt, 60, have shared one of Hollywood’s strongest bromances for nearly 25 years.
Their friendship began back in the early ’90s when they both auditioned for “Thelma & Louise,” but Brad landed the role that George missed out on.
Despite the competition, they’ve maintained a fun and supportive relationship.
They first teamed up on-screen in the 2001 remake of “Ocean’s Eleven,” along with two sequels, and have continued to collaborate over the years, most recently in the upcoming action-comedy Wolfs.
Young George Clooney and Brad Pitt
Despite their competitive nature, they’ve always had each other’s backs, often checking in on one another when life gets tough.
In summary not only are they two of the hottest man (I got to give this one to Brad Pitt) but at the same time they are the IT bromance of Hollywood.
Legendary Pranks
The pranks between these two are legendary. One of Clooney’s best involved sending Meryl Streep a package, pretending it was from Pitt.
The package included CDs with dialect lessons, which Clooney claimed helped Pitt with his accent in Troy.
He suggested they might be useful for her role in The Iron Lady, leaving Streep completely baffled.
Pitt, of course, retaliated. During the filming of Ocean’s Eleven in Italy, he plastered the town with posters that read, “George Clooney only wants to be called Daddy Ocean—don’t look him in the eye,” all in Italian.
The local media fell for it, dubbing Clooney Il Divo (The Diva), and the prank became the talk of the town.
Mutual Admiration
Despite their constant pranks, the respect and admiration between Clooney and Pitt run deep.
In a rare moment of sincerity, when asked to name the most handsome man alive, Pitt didn’t hesitate to shout out Clooney, saying, “George, this one’s for you.”
On Screen Chemistry
Over the years, Clooney and Pitt have starred together in seven films, starting with Ocean’s Eleven and its sequels, and most recently reuniting for the upcoming thriller Wolves.
Their on-screen chemistry, combined with their playful banter, makes their bromance one for the ages.
George and Brad are the best bromance in Hollywood
Clooney Was Always There for Pitt
George Clooney has been a supportive and steady presence in Brad Pitt’s life, especially during challenging times.
Clooney emphasized their long-standing friendship, mentioning how they regularly check in on each other, highlighting the importance of ensuring that both are doing well as life gets complicated.
Their Latest Collab
Their latest collaboration, Wolfs, is an action-comedy where Clooney and Pitt play rival fixers forced to work together.
The film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival and is set for release in cinemas and on Apple TV+ in September.
The two actors are “forever friends” who share mutual respect and enjoyment in working together, no matter how much time passes between projects.
They were particularly enthusiastic about Wolfs, finding the project engaging and exciting as its release date approaches.
