George Clooney Discusses 'Descendants' in Telluride

George Clooney attends a Q&A session for his new movie, The Descendants, during the 38th Telluride Film Festival on Saturday (September 3) in Telluride, Colo.

The 50-year-old actor, with co-star Shailene Woodley, chatted about the dramedy, which centers around a land baron who tries to reconnect with his two daughters after his wife suffers a boating accident.

When asked how director Alexander Payne got him to cry for a critical scene, George replied, “He reminded me of how he didn’t cast me in Sideways.”

“So I let it all go. I also wet my pants at the same time,” he joked.
