George Clooney's former ER co-star has playfully suggested the Hollywood A-lister might be in for a shock if he joins the cast of the gritty medical drama The Pitt.
A Reunion at the Grownups Awards
Noah Wyle, nominated for his leading role in the acclaimed series The Pitt, recently reunited with his old friend at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards in Los Angeles. The event, held earlier this week, saw the two actors catching up and discussing their current projects.
Wyle revealed that during their conversation, Clooney expressed a strong interest in making a guest appearance on the show. The pair, who shared the screen for years on the iconic hospital drama ER, have maintained a lasting friendship. Wyle noted that their bond is the kind where they "always pick up right where we left off".
"He Doesn't Understand How Hard We Work"
However, Wyle added a humorous caveat to Clooney's cameo aspirations. "He keeps saying he wants to come on the show," Wyle joked, "but I don't think he quite understands how hard we work."
The comment, made in good spirits, highlights the intense production schedule of a modern, high-end television series like The Pitt. It contrasts with the perhaps more measured pace of feature film work, with which Clooney has been predominantly associated in recent years.
The revelation has sparked interest among fans of both actors, eager to see if Clooney will take on the challenge and appear in a future episode. Whether the Oscar-winner's schedule and his understanding of the workload align remains to be seen.
