George Clooney pays for fellow diner's bill in Germany
George Clooney surprised a fellow diner by paying for the German man鈥檚 dinner while in Berlin, where he stopped on his way to film his new movie.
The diner, Oliver Hermann, said in an interview with the newspaper that when he tried to pay his check, the waiter told him Clooney had already taken care of his 100 Euros ($135) bill.
According to the waiter, said Hermann, Clooney had been afraid that he and his party had been too loud and paid for his fellow restaurant patron鈥檚 bill as a way to apologize.
But Hermann said that wasn鈥檛 the case at all.
鈥淭hat's not true at all,鈥� he said about Clooney and his party鈥檚 supposed loudness. 鈥淭hey had behaved in a very cultivated manner. I was stunned.鈥澛�
He said he left his business card at the restaurant in the hope that he could pick up the tab for the actor sometime in the future. But he hadn't recognized Clooney, said Hermann.
Clooney paid for the extra bill at the restaurant the Grill Royal. The actor is in Germany to film the movie 鈥淭he Monuments Men,鈥� which will be filmed in Potsdam, , a German online news outlet. 鈥淢onuments鈥� follows a group of people in the art world trying to save well-known works of art that were looted by the Nazis. Other actors that have been rumored to be involved with the project include Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, and Daniel Craig.听
Clooney is also involved in a movie titled 鈥�1952,鈥� a film that will be directed by Brad Bird and written by 鈥�Lost鈥� creator Damon Lindelof and writer Jeff Jensen. It鈥檚 a Disney project, which may explain the recent reveal of its other title: 鈥淭omorrowland,鈥� which is also the name of the futuristic section of the Magic Kingdom at the Disney parks. 鈥�1952鈥� is slated for a 2014 release.
