Bruce Willis Falls For George Clooney's 'Old Men Want To Sleep With Your Jailbait Daughter' Practical Joke
As the world contemplates the contents of the highly compromising snapshots that managed to convince the Oceans 13's cast to grace Scott Caan's recent 30th birthday party/photography exhibition with their exalted, A-list presence, tales of its top-tier celebrity hijinks continue to trickle down to the masses. After Friday's news of Angelina Jolie's estranged-parent-avoiding, SUV sit-in, comes this NY Daily News report, in which the rascally George Clooney hatches a plot to further erode any sense of authority replaced dad-unit Bruce Willis might feel he still wields over his own children:
At Scott Caan's photo exhibit party in Los Angeles, Clooney told his buddy that "several of the middle-aged guests were hitting on his 18-year-old daughter, Rumer."
Says our spy: "Bruce kept getting madder and madder with each guy George mentioned."
Eventually the jig was up when Rumer came over and said, "Dad, George told me to tell you that — uh, I forget his name — was talking to me."
Willis, always the good sport, instantly erupted into a fit of laughter as he realized his poker-faced pal had been pulling his leg all along. It would end up coming back to haunt the notorious prankster, however, when Clooney later tapped Willis on the shoulder and expressed concern that his youngest daughter, 12-year-old Tallulah Belle, had just slinked off to the stairwell with James Woods in one hand and bottle of Moët & Chandon in the other— a disconcerting observation that, sadly, no amount of pleading or plaintive eye-contact from the Oscar-Winner Who Cried Wolf could help convince his friend was anything more than yet another mischievous practical joke.
