With his dashing smile coupled with his charismatic looks, Brad Pitt could easily be considered the “most handsome man in the world.” Yet, when it comes to who the Bullet Train star himself considers the most good-looking man in the world, the title got passed down to one of his Ocean’s franchise co-stars.
Surprisingly enough, when Pitt was asked about who he believes is the most gorgeous man in the world in his eyes, he didn’t take someone like Matt Damon’s name. Instead, his shocking answer held the name of his longtime friend and joke partner, George Clooney!
Brad Pitt Calls George Clooney The “Most Handsome Man In The World”
When it comes to his co-stars from the Ocean’s film series, Brad Pitt is as good friends with Matt Damon as he is with his other roasting pal, George Clooney. Despite that, the name he shared with the world of who he considers to be more attractive than him was of the latter.
During a Vogue interview, the Troy actor was asked, “Who is the most handsome man in the world, past and present?” Revealing about the past actors, he took the name of the late Paul Newman. Then, he jumped to the present part to remark:
“Well, I’ve gotta name that George Clooney f—er, because why not?” Pitt teased.
Continuing, Pitt explained how this bickering and teasing goes back and forth between the duo. Though this time, just this once, he would actually let him take the compliment for real.
“Usually I’m always taking him out and he’s always taking me out, and this time I’m going to go the other way. Just this once. George? That one’s for you.”

Undoubtedly enough, that is indeed a sign of true friendship; and Brad Pitt is most certainly someone George Clooney can always count on.
George Clooney Had The Most Hilarious Reaction To Brad Pitt’s Compliment
While Brad Pitt’s teasing response brought a smile to fans’ faces, George Clooney’s reaction to getting the compliment is even more hilarious. Appearing on an episode of CBS Mornings, when the ER star was confronted about the praise, he reacted in an even more teasing manner than his Ocean’s co-star, saying:
“He’s right about that. Let’s face it. He’s right.”

He then went on to joke about how Pitt would’ve taken his own name first, but at the insistence of the interviewer saying, “Maybe don’t say that. Do another take,” he would’ve taken Clooney’s name instead.
In another confrontation of the same during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, the Batman & Robin star further added a comment, saying:
“Well, I do have some things to say about him and it will include the word f—er in it, apparently, since he used that about me,” he said. “I would say that I, too, think that I am the most handsome man in the world.”
