00:00 (upbeat music)
00:03 We're so excited for "Wolves,"
00:04 reuniting with Brad Pitt.
00:05 Pretty boy Pitt, yeah, you know,
00:07 he needed work, he's an up-and-comer.
00:09 Does it feel like no time has passed between you two?
00:11 No, it feels like a lot of time has passed.
00:13 Too much time.
00:15 15 years, to be exact.
00:17 The longtime friends,
00:18 who last teamed up for "Burn After Reading,"
00:20 are working on the psychological thriller "Wolves,"
00:22 expected to drop on Apple TV+ next year.
00:25 As for Clooney's latest project?
00:28 He directs "The Boys in the Boat,"
00:30 an underdog story about the University of Washington's
00:33 rowing team, who took home Olympic gold in 1936.
00:37 Joel Edgerton stars in the film,
00:38 "Out Christmas Day," as the team's coach.
00:41 Did I get to boss people around this far?
00:42 Act, act, act. What drew you
00:44 to this project?
00:45 Were you a big rower?
00:46 No. (laughs)
00:47 No, I'm not even a little rower.
00:49 I like the idea of bossing Joel around,
00:52 which I thought would be fun to do.
00:53 Yeah, and I love being bossy.
00:55 Oh, that's totally what's in there.
00:56 I was gonna say, what drew you?
00:57 Did you know he was attached to the project first?
01:01 Did that--
01:02 That was a surprise.
01:03 We threw that in there.
01:03 Trick me into it.
01:04 Trick me into it.
01:05 I was already on the set.
01:06 No, no!
01:07 Joel and I, we trained very hard, too.
01:11 We were on the sidelines with a beer, watching.
01:16 I felt like--
01:16 Go team, go!
01:17 But yeah, we did a lot of,
01:18 there was a lot of emotional support.
01:20 A lot is worth, I'm proud of you boys.
01:22 What is your underdog story?
01:24 Becoming an actor, I think, was one for me.
01:26 I never assumed that I could set any goals
01:29 that were very high, and I still feel like I'm throning.
01:32 You're kind of old.
01:34 (laughing)
01:35 I was waiting for that.
01:36 I knew it.
01:37 I mean, in fact, I knew it was coming.
01:38 We all walk around with this sort of false confidence,
01:42 but we all feel we're smaller than we actually are.
01:45 And look at you two now.
01:47 Oh man, we're here with you on TV.
01:49 Oh my gosh.
01:51 We've made it.
01:51 Yeah.
01:52 On E2.
01:53 (glass shattering)
