George Clooney
George is a notorious prankster and played a trick on Matt Damon on the set of ‘The Monuments Men’: ”George got his idea for pranking Matt because he was so damn serious about working out every morning before shooting started. Bill Murray and John Goodman kept teasing him but Matt cracked that he’d be laughing when they didn’t have stamina for the tough hiking scenes ahead.
That’s all George had to hear. He had the prop guys prepping packs for the hike fill Matt’s with solid metal bricks, weighing about 50 pounds. The other guys’ packs had lightweight padding but George told them to pretend they felt super heavy. By the end of the day Matt was sweating profusely. After the scenes were shot, Matt dropped his pack, opened it and everyone burst out laughing when the metal bricks tumbled out.”
Jonah Hill
Jonah and Brad Pitt pranked each other while working on ‘Moneyball’. Jonah said: “We had these golf carts… We would drive these golf carts all around and smash into each other and it was really fun and stupid… I got my own golf cart, just for me… and he would mess with it. I would walk outside and there would be no wheels on it; it would be on cinder blocks. And then one day I’d come out… and it would be on its head, be completely upside down. So his assistant came up to me and was like, ‘You got to get Brad back, you’re looking like a wuss right now’… So I had my friend, that’s an artist, make this funny thing (sign) to put on his golf cart.”
