Clooney surprises Comic-Con fans
CEBU, Philippines - Newly married George Clooney surprised fans with an appearance at New York Comic-Con on Thursday.
Clooney, who married human rights lawyer Amal Alamuddin on September 27 in Venice, Italy, walked on stage during a panel discussion for the upcoming Disney fantasy film, “Tomorrowland,” in which he plays a hermit inventor.
“It’s not lost on me that I’m spending my honeymoon at Comic-Con,” Clooney told the crowd to thunderous applause.
Panel moderator Chris Hardwick then asked the actor, “So what did you say, ‘Honey we’re going to Comic-Con.’”
“She was as confused as you all were,” Clooney said.
Before walking on stage, Disney showed the crowd a two-minute trailer of the film (set for release in May). Clooney called the experience larger than anything he’s ever done.
“We were all over the world for this film. Hugh (Laurie) and I got to get in trouble in the Bahamas. That was fun, two former television doctors,” Clooney told the crowd to prolonged laughter. “Bring on that McSteamy guy, we’ll take on all of them TV doctors.”
