Thelma & Louise
Believe it or not, George Clooney actually auditioned to play J.D. in Thelma & Louise. Not just once though…he auditioned five times! However, the part went to Brad Pitt and helped him rise to fame. In 2011, Clooney joked he was still upset about losing the part to Pitt and still couldn’t bring himself to watch the film.

Besides his famous pet pig, Max, George Clooney also had two bulldogs. He named them Bud and Lou, in honor of the comedy duo Abbott and Costello. Sadly, both of his dogs have passed away. One died from a rattlesnake bite. So sad!
