Clooney, 64, who stars in Noah Baumbach‘s latest film, Jay Kelly, alongside Adam Sandler, sat down with the New York Times and revealed that back in the '90s, during the height of his role as Dr. Doug Ross on NBC's hit medical series ER, he had an interesting run-in with legendary film star and philanthropist Paul Newman.

"I have a tendency to go, 'If I go out, that’s going to be an extra hour of talking to people.' Paul Newman actually talked about this to me," Clooney recalled. When I first met him, he was at Warner Bros. doing Message in a Bottle, and I was on ER. Newman was sitting outside smoking a cigarette, so I pulled up in the golf cart and was like, 'Hey, just wanted to say hi.' He had no idea who I was, but everybody who came by on golf carts was like, 'Hey, George.' 'George!' So bit by bit, he figured out I was successful in the industry in some way."
"Then he goes, 'George, don’t let them keep you at home.' He meant very specifically that tendency to isolate because you’re trying to hold onto some privacy. My tendency at that moment was to stay in, and hearing Newman say that, it made sense immediately," the actor shared.
Clooney Has Seen The Dark Side of Fame
Before he found tremendous fame on ER, Clooney had seen the negative ways fame could affect someone. He went on to say that he saw this with his aunt, legendary singer Rosemary Clooney.
