George Clooney and John Krasinski: Ask 'Leatherheads' Stars a Question
Filed under: Comedy, Fandom, Interviews, George Clooney, Unscripted
Well, apparently there is a movie god, because Clooney and Krasinski are starring in a movie together -- a romantic comedy called Leatherheads -- and I'm all over this sucker like mud on a linebacker. Seriously, the only way this could top my fantasy-boyfriend-meter would be if Nathan Fillion were starring in it, too. But, ahem, to be professional for a moment: Clooney directed and stars in Leatherheads as Dodge Connelly (great name), a football player in the 1920s, which is just before professional football has become an actual organized sport. His team loses its sponsor and the league is on the verge of collapse until he hires a ringer: college star and WWI hero Carter Rutherford, who may just be too good to be true. Renée Zellweger co-stars as a reporter who falls for them both; and can you blame her?
Well, tie me down and call me Nelly, 'cause we've snagged Clooney and Krasinski for a Leatherheads Unscripted, in which they'll interview each other using your questions. Trust me, if I could stalk... um, attend the taping I would, but you can do the next best thing, and that's ask them whatever you want in the comments section below. Submit any questions by this Friday, March 14, and then check back here on Monday, March 31, to see if yours made the cut. Oh, and be sure to include your first name and the city and state where you live -- but please, no "John, will you marry me?" questions. I mean c'mon, show a little professionalism.

Before working together, you'd already shared a pretty rare experience: playing one half of an extremely popular TV couple in which fans are - sometimes overly - invested.
That phenomena has probably lead to some funny or uncomfortable moments for both of you. There aren't many actors who know what that's like from the inside - did you ever chat about it, or compare stories, while hanging out during filming Leatherheads?

Did the makeup artists strategically apply mud for the football scenes, or did you just play for awhile until you looked dirty enough?

John's character on 'The Office' is know for practical jokes, and George has a reputation as a prankster. Best practical joke you've ever payed?

My question is for John
Was it hard to transition yourself to another character after playing the role of 'Jim Halpert' for so long?

John, would you defend George in the event that Fabio challenged him to a fight or hope another bird would swoop down and inflict harm on Fabio?
