George Clooney and Brad Pitt have teamed up numerous times to star in some of Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster films over the years.
The Academy Award-winning actors first graced the big screen together in 2001’s remake of Ocean’s Eleven, which also stars Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Casey Affleck, Bernie Mac and more.

Clooney – who was named People‘s Sexiest Man Alive in 1997 – jokingly added about Pitt, who was given the accolade in 1995, “And that’s all I’ll say on the subject, because he’s still the former Sexiest Man Alive … someone lost their crown.”

They later reunited for two more installments of the heist comedy, starring in Ocean’s Twelve in 2004 and Ocean’s Thirteen in 2007.

According to the film’s logline, “Clooney plays a professional fixer hired to cover up a high-profile crime. But when a second fixer (Pitt) shows up and the two ‘lone wolves’ are forced to work together, they find their night spiraling out of control in ways that neither one of them expected.”
