“George, we happen to have some pictures of you from, this was a little before high school,” Kimmel said, sharing a first photo of a preteen Clooney sporting a bowl cut and wearing glasses.
“I want to point out that my mother cut my hair,” the actor said in response, before Kimmel then pulled out another picture of him a few years older, where he could be seen with a slightly slanted smile.
But, before Kimmel could poke fun at Clooney’s appearance, theTicket to Paradisestar told him, “Now wait, I want to point out something because you’re going to laugh, gonna make a joke. I have Bell’s palsy there and half of my face is paralyzed.”
“Look at this, watch this,” Clooney added, as he covered half of his face in the photograph with his hand. “If you go like this, on the other side, it’s a completely different face. So now make your joke. Come on, funny man. Come on, let me give you my sad face.”
Kimmel said, however, “You know what? I didn’t have a joke, George, and you really brought everybody down.”
He then continued, “Maybe we should have another toast to bring things back up,” before he, Clooney and Dogg each took a shot together.
