He once confessed to adultery…in second grade
+ READ ARTICLELeave it to an actor like George Clooney to make the pre-planned banter and anecdote-swapping of late-night shows feel like a genuine conversation. The star of the Coen Brothers’ upcoming Hail, Caesar!, which hits theaters Friday, relived his altar boy days with fellow Catholic Jimmy Kimmel—”I [also] know about wearing a dress for a job,” Kimmel joked in reference to Clooney’s costume in the film.

Kimmel would pretend he had been mean to his sister, but Clooney, in a grand misunderstanding, tried to confess to adultery…in second grade.
