George Clooney dazzles hometown crowd
It’s rare that anyone gets a hometown parade in their honor and even more rare that a person gets a hometown movie premiere — unless that person is George Clooney.
Monday night Clooney was in Maysville, Kentucky where his family hails from — his great grandfather was the mayor – for a special screening of his new football movie, “Leatherheads,” and Clooney told Reuters on Tuesday that he had a great time. He even saw the gal he took to his sophomore prom.
“You know you do a (Hollywood) premiere and everybody’s real cool. But these 
guys were all dressed up and they were so excited. It was a real old-fashioned premiere. Everybody was lit up and having fun. I got onstage and introduced my dad and everyone cheered.”
That’s his dad, Nick, in the picture at the left, straightening George’s crooked tie.
