Too much Casamigos?
George Clooney got absolutely smashed after being snubbed at the 2025 Tony Awards.
The “Ocean’s Eleven” star recalled drinking too much alcohol after winning no awards on Broadway’s biggest night in an interview with Esquire published Monday.
“I got blasted. Barely-walking drunk, you know?” Clooney, 64, said.
The two-time Oscar winner had been nominated for five awards, including best leading actor, for his role in Broadway’s “Good Night, and Good Luck.” However, he left the event with no new accolades and decided to drink his sorrows at an afterparty.
“[I] came home with Amal, and I was just laughing. We’re lying in bed, and I go, ‘Well, I caught up for all my abstinence in one night,’” he said.
“I was sick all day the next day; it was hysterical,” he added. “I was like high school drunk. Like dumbass drunk.”
George’s drunken stupor was the result of knocking back too many beverages after basically cutting out liquor for six months as he rehearsed for the show.
The tequila mogul explained that he had eased his alcohol consumption while working on the theater project because booze can affect a person’s voice and sleep cycle.
He also wanted to avoid any hangovers — something that has become more frequent with age.
This isn’t the first time George has discussed overdoing it with the cocktails, and he once admitted to showing up drunk on set of his 1996 film, “One Fine Day.”
George and his co-star, Michelle Pfeiffer, reminisced about the actor drinking too much before having to appear early on set in a 2021 conversation with Variety.
“I woke up at 5 in the morning,” Clooney told Pfeiffer. “I was like, ‘I feel OK.’ Then I looked in the mirror, and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m still drunk.’”
“I got to the set, and we walked to the trailer and I sat down and you looked at me. You go, ‘What?’ And I was like, ‘I didn’t know we were going to work today.’ And you go, ‘You’re still drunk.’”
George said he kept trying to spray Listerine in his mouth while they filmed a scene in an attempt to cover up the alcohol on his breath.
“It’s a scene we did in a oner where you and I are talking back and forth to each other,” Clooney continued. “I kept trying to spray whatever mouth spray I could because I smelled like a —”
“Like a brewery,” Pfeiffer interrupted.
“Like a distillery,” Clooney agreed.
