Celebrities, they’re just like us! At least George Clooney is. The mega star talked about watching four hours of Below Deck on television while he was in Poland. According to him, it’s because it was the only show that was in English. But if that were true, he didn’t need to watch hours of it. Did he enjoy it just a bit? We think so!
George Clooney was stuck in Poland waiting to do a speaking engagement
The actor recently spoke to W Magazine and opened up about whether he ever watched reality shows. When asked, he smirked a bit and answered immediately.
“I went to do a speaking gig in Poland a couple of weeks ago,” he started. “And the only thing in English on television was a series called Below Deck. And I watched that one.”
He further explained that it was “on a 24-hour loop” and that he watched several episodes while waiting for his speaking engagement. “I watched like, about four hours of Below Deck,” he admitted with a laugh. He didn’t mention which season or if it was a spin-off, but let’s face it, they’re all pretty addictive!
George was pretty impressed by the crew. “I was mostly impressed by how they kept their act together when all these sort of awful people came on,” the A-List actor revealed. “They wanted their toenails buffed and things like that.”
He’s not wrong. Below Deck has seen its fair share of rude guests, some of whom have left terrible tips for the crew or attempted to avoid leaving any tips at all. It is pretty amazing seeing the staff pull it all together, although we all know the shenanigans that go on behind the scenes as well.
Fans in the comment section were elated by George’s confession. “Below Deck is a gateway drug to reality TV,” one fan commented. Another added, “All roads lead to Bravo!”
They aren’t wrong. Many celebrities love a good reality TV show. George’s good friend and superstar, Julia Roberts, is a Bravo superfan! Perhaps she can give George some good reality TV recommendations.
Below Deck Mediterranean continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo. It streams on Peacock.
