George Clooney revealed he used to be Tony Bennett's driver
George Clooney has revealed he used to be a chauffeur to the stars, before he hit the big time himself.
The Descendants star bumped into crooner Tony Bennett on the red carpet at the Oscars, while he was being interviewed by Access Hollywood and revealed he used to be his driver.
George, 50, was with his girlfriend Stacy Keibler and introduced her to Tony, and added: "I was his driver when I was 19. I did it for about three weeks. He doesn't remember."
But after having his memory jogged the 85-year-old singer said: "He was very good. He had to tell me about it many years later. He actually drove me somewhere and I didn't know who he was."
He told George: "I'm so proud of you, you're doing everything right."
The A-list actor replied: "I'll still drive you anywhere you wanna go."
