George Clooney is not only handsome and talented, but the “Oceans Eleven” actor is also a terrific host. The two-time Oscar winner is set to once again play alongside his long-time friend, Julia Roberts. “Ticket to Paradise” will be released later this year and has Ol Parker as its director.

Clooney and Roberts have a history of appearing in the same movies together, dating back to 2001. Some of their movies together include The first two installments of the “Oceans Eleven” franchise, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” and “Money Monster.”

According to the “Gravity” actor, he immediately reached out to Roberts when he got the script. He recalled, “The minute I read it, I called Julia, and I said, ‘Did you get this?’ and she said, ‘Yeah,’ and I said ‘Are you going to do it?’ and she goes ‘Are you going to do it?’ and I said, ‘Yeah if you do it.’”

Clooney referred to the casting as “one of those very lucky things,” especially given the history of the two actors. The Oscar winner added that filming was “going great,” and they were all having the time of their lives on set.

“It’s going great, man,” he said. “We’re having the time of our lives. Julia is just fantastic in it, and this wonderful actor named Lucas Bravo who’s just absolutely the funniest thing in the movie, and you know, Billie Lourd and Kaitlyn Dever.”
