George Clooney said, “I remember Julia. I didn’t know her. I’d never met her and she was making $20 million dollars a film.

And we just talked Brad [Pitt] into doing it and Matt [Damon] into doing it and we wanted Julia [Roberts] to do it. So, I put a $20 dollar bill on a script and I sent it to her. And I said, ‘I hear you get $20 a picture now.’”

We also told you that George Clooney also opened up about the culpability of Batman & Robin and his performance in it. He said, “The only way you can honestly talk about things is to include yourself and your shortcomings in those things.

Like, when I say Batman & Robin’s a terrible film, I always go, ‘I was terrible in it.’ Because I was, number one. But also because then it allows you the ability to say, ‘Having said I sucked in it, I can also say that none of these other elements worked, either.’ You know? Lines like ‘Freeze, Freeze!’”
