The 52-year-old actor threw light on some of the experiences of his life and his upcoming film 'The Monuments Men' in a new interview with Variety magazine.
"We got stopped in the middle of nowhere, where we shouldn't have been. A little 10-year-old kid came over with a Kalashnikov assault rifle to my head, basically wanted to get us out of the truck," Clooney said.
Following the terrifying encounter, the actor co-founded the humanitarian aid organisation Not On Our Watch with a few of his friends, including Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Don Cheadle, six years ago.
"If you pay everybody a full boatload, it's a USD 150 million film. You just can't do it. Everybody worked for super cheap, like crazy cheap," he said.
