Oscar Roundtable: Clooney's Worst Job

In this clip from Newsweek's 2012 Oscar Roundtable the actors discuss the odd jobs they held before they became famous. Michael Fassbender was a bartender in London. Charlize Theron was a model and ballerina. And George Clooney sold women's shoes. Clooney tells the gruesome details in this clip.

Clooney's worst job was batman and robin.

I love how Tilda Swinton asks Clooney why women lie about their size... She's so retracted from those tiny human habits haha..

[MisSeductive]

George Clooney...always the life of the party, no matter how big or small the crowd is, he seems to be the center of attention. He's really funny, witty and friendly...they are all so into him.

My god, tilda's eyes are insanely green!

I just realized that someone could cast George Clooney and Johnny Knoxville as siblings who chose different paths (like Jonathan Letham and his brother, Blake) and they could pull it off.

Thanks George for keeping Cincinnati on the map- corns and all!

Well Fassbender should have been nominated, aaand hes one of/if not the best actor there

[supermariofan]

I thought you when you meant by "Clooney's worst job" I thought he was gonna say something like "being Batman"

[squamish]

Clooney's toughest job is yet to come. Dating a woman his own age. You can do it, man. Really.

Michael Fassbender was nominated for best supporting actor in 12 Years A Slave. He's also a great actor. I personally think that he's better than Brad Pitt. Charlize won an Oscar for her role in Monster.

Love how all of these famous actors sit around and have a chat about what utter peasantry work they used to do 

[markoos]

And that was still better than Batman & Robin.

I’ve worked in footwear for older women. What he said is exactly right. So glad those days are over. Erghhh!

[demetriuswilliams]

I'm with George! Selling shoes was the worst job I ever had! I also sold shoes to old women.lol

[crisguia]

I don't believe George's stories. I think he just makes them up to make people laugh. He's a natural funnyman. Of course, too much of that can be annoying.

[LifeofMarie]

I can understand. I sold women's clothing at a department store where most of the customers were older and I remember this one elderly lady who would come in with a measuring tape and measure the length of the pants.

[chocgirl]

That's nothing compared to working in pharmacy.

"That's a Hammer Toe!" - George Clooney

[lindas.martin]

hey, naturalizers are great shoes, the most comfortable, my foot size is a five (so happy to grow from a 4.5 that most brands no longer make ) and I wore them from like age 12 to 30. Your corn story though, is a bit scary.

[crisguia]

If George's story is true, then he should have felt bad for those poor old women instead of not wanting to serve them. George is mean.
