Clooney's tartan Jacket

Clooney in Glasgow
10 April 2012
Pssst...

The Hollywood heart-throb looked tanned and relaxed as he emerged from his five-star hotel in the west end of Glasgow last night, just hours after flying in.

Accompanied by minders, the Ocean's Eleven star chatted to photographers outside One Devonshire Gardens, where he is staying in a £500-a-night suite.

Clooney told fans he was not planning to sample the city's night life because of his early start on set this morning in West Lothian.

The movie shoot began yesterday at a disused mental hospital in the village of Bangour, near Broxburn, which will double as a Vermont lunatic asylum.

Clooney, known as Gorgeous George, is co-producing the £20 million movie with his friend, Steven Soderbergh, but will not appear in it himself.

The cast is led by Pirates of the Caribbean actress Keira Knightley and The Pianist's Oscar winner Adrien Brody.

Brody plays a Gulf War veteran who tries to avoid death by using his clairvoyant powers while locked up in prison.

Earlier this month casting agents for the film auditioned hundreds of wannabe actors at a hotel in Livingston, West Lothian.

Council chiefs were delighted with the high-profile visitor and said they hoped the film would attract more location-hunting movie moguls to the area.

Councillor Willie Dunn said: "This is a most exciting event which has created a great deal of interest locally.

"I hope filming goes well and that this major new production will lead to others coming to West Lothian."
