George Doesn’t want to Screw Renee

Renée Zellweger and George Clooney are costarring in George’s newest directorial effort, Leatherheads, and the veteran actor was none to shy when it came to being nervous about his double role of directing and starring. In the latest issue of the UK’s version of Marie Claire, the pair says:

Let’s talk about Leatherheads for a bit. You wrote Renée’s role especially for her. She says she didn’t want to disappoint you.
GC We both had that.
RZ Yeah, completely.
GC She’s one of my dearest friends and I wrote this part for her. She’s also, unfortunately for her at times, a big star. When Renée commits, it green-lights a movie. So, there’s a responsibility, as the director of this film, not to screw up my friend.
