The Film: Ocean’s 12

The Prankster: George Clooney

The Prank: The true king of Hollywood pranks, Clooney has cultivated a reputation as a master joker through the years. And few people have been as big a target of his humour as Brad Pitt.

The pair have enjoyed a long rivalry in the pranking world, which came to a head when Pitt issued a fake memo on the set of Ocean’s 12, which ordered all crew members to refer to Clooney only as “Mr Ocean” so he could stay in camera.

Not one to be outdone, Clooney soon struck back. “I put bumper stickers on his car. “One on that went for a few days that said, 'I'm gay and I vote…' And then it was, ‘Small Penis on Board.’ And that ran for a few days too.

“People were honking at him and waving,” chuckles Matt Damon. “And he thinks it's because he's Brad Pitt and he's waving back.”
