George Clooney: I Am Not the Godfather

George Clooney is denying reports he will be the godfather to his pal Brad Pitt‘s fifth child with Angelina Jolie.

Recently, Clooney reportedly joked to paparazzi outside a Los Angeles restaurant that he had been asked by the celebrity couple to be godfather to their child.

Clooney‘s rep made a clarification and said that the Leatherheads star was only joking. “He was just having a joke,” said the rep.

Leatherheads made around $13.5 million in ticket sales in its opening weekend, failing to meet expectations of $16 million set by the studio.
