Hello there

January 13, 2010

I went down to the lobby just before 7pm. I am in a hotel in Manhattan. Waiting for some colleagues.

I hear some voices and one of them sounds very familiar. Thinking that it was one of my colleagues, I stand up and walk towards the sound. And who do I bump into around the corner of the lobby?

George Clooney.

How cool is that?

Update: Here is a photo that was taken just as he was leaving the hotel. Via.

Hi Matthew,

This was a planned event and someone was there ready to get an autograph from George Clooney. In his line of work, this is called a Public Relations event.

The guy taking the pen is the actor (George Clooney). And he wants to be photographed to keep himself in the public eye. A little bit like TV commercials. You probably haven’t seen any of his movies as yet. Maybe in a few years you and I will watch one of his films :-)
