George Clooney is not hesitant to call out his good friend, Brad Pitt, after being accused of lacking one important skill. The actor has won an Academy Award, Golden Globe Awards, and numerous other accolades throughout his legendary career. And apart from his acting career, Clooney has also made a name for himself as a director.

However, Pitt says his talents may not extend to every arena. Clooney, however, disagrees with his friend’s claim and quickly defends his skills with a hilarious response.

George Clooney dismissed Brad Pitt’s accusations

George Clooney and his wife, Amal Clooney, recently attended the international awards ceremony hosted by their foundation. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the couple was asked about Brad Pitt’s comment about Clooney being a bad dancer. Clooney, who did not appear surprised by the comment, was quick to call Pitt out.

“He’s such a jealous man. He’s just got to let it go. In fact I outnumbered him on the dance floor so…” Clooney said.

“Telling stories about me,” Clooney joked when the reporter asked what Pitt is bad at.

Clooney also received support from Amal Clooney, who joked that the accusations were "defamatory" and "wrong", as seen in the X clip. This came after Pitt asked that Clooney be kept away from the dance floor in a special message delivered by presenter Laura Dern when Clooney was honored at the Venice Film Festival. He also praised Clooney’s career and achievements. Moreover, considering the actors’ responses, it seems that the two often play pranks on each other, given that they have been longtime friends.
